- Learning is creating physical structures in the brain - The Default Mode Network (taking some space after learning to relax) is critical to learning - you can’t just power through and learn something without taking breaks - [[Deliberate practice]] is best for mastery: > Look at what hurts the most and then focus on that - Working memory has about 4 things you can remember at once - Learning happens in chunks of subroutines that go from working memory to crystallized memory - Once you have a subroutine you can add another adjacent one - You can build up chains of subroutines - “Learning Styles” - visual, auditory, etc - are not backed up by science #podcast #theknowledgeproject
