It has been requested that I post my own take on efficient learning. As I spend half a page describing, this is not yet ready for publishing, but I'm putting out there because there may be (great) benefit to be had. After all, there is low-hanging fruit if you're willing to abandon traditional methods: simply doing practice problems in a different order may improve your test score by 40 points.
Thank you VERY much. This is very interesting; I'm off to go try it.
If you happen to know, does your understanding about background noise suggest that using a white noise generator of some kind is ineffective at combating a "quiet room?" I've been going between nature sounds and pink noise in such an environment. It'd be convenient if that were sufficient, but I'd much like to know if I can squeeze out some extra efficiency by moving my study environment.
Thanks again, this was very well put together (as far as communicating the ideas goes), no fluff.
I'm developing an autodidactic curriculum of sorts. A study of learning might merit precedence.
What are the best articles, books, and videos you know on how to learn learning and why would you recommend those in particular?
A thousand gracias.
