Useful study hacks proven by science. 六個有科學替你撐腰的讀書小撇步,據說真的能提升學習效率喔!

Hack 這個字很有意思,很類似我們常說的「 實用小撇步 」或「 助人更有效率達成目標的捷徑 」。今天教練跟大家分享一些 透過科學證實有用的念書小撇步 ,學英文之餘,也可以找出一些能提升學習效率的好方式。 1. Learn by "chunking." 訊息切小塊好消化 The theory is that people tend to remember things better when they learn related ideas in small chunks, rather than simply trying to cram all the details of a topic into their heads at once. Research has demonstrated that subjects (受測者) tend to remember more items on a list when they relate certain items on the list with others. 把繁瑣或大量的訊息先切塊再消化,可以大幅提升學習效率 。如果你能在切塊之後再做訊息或資料的分類,並且建立訊息與訊息之間的關聯性,那麼學起來就會更得心應手。 填鴨式的學習cramming 效果是暫時的,但切塊/消化/訊息連結後,就不用擔心考完試馬上忘得一乾二淨了。 之前教練在托福閱讀課程就有推薦過chunking的好處。 腦袋在處理大量或比較艱難的訊息時,不容易吸收,死背浪費時間因為效果差。如果將文章 拆解 再消化 ,效果一定比較好(當時我還用戰斧牛排與骰子牛肉做比喻)。如果整理筆記,將相同的訊息歸類,或是把內容系統化編整,讀起來就更舒服且容易理解記憶。 2. Exercise before you study 念書前先運動 Exercise has both long and short-term effects on cognition認知能力 . It’s even been demonstrated that exercise can lead to neurogenesis 神經生成 . In addition, a brain structure called the hippocampus 海馬迴 is...
