Week- 2 Chunking>>> learning How To Learn

Test yourself to evaluate how well are you doing in your study process.

Reread a text as many times as you need to make sure that you memorize it well.

Highlight or underline everything that you consider interesting in a text. As discussed in the videos, highlighting and underlining a lot are powerful tools for memorization.

Just look at the solution to a problem—this will give you enough to understand the answer and do well on any related test questions your teacher might give you.

Recall the main ideas of a text.

When you are focusing your attention on something, it’s almost as if you have an octopus—the “octopus of attention”—that slips its tentacles through those four slots of working memory when necessary, to help you make connections to information you might have in various parts of your brain.

The intentional, focused mode connections of the “octopus of attention” analogy are quite different from the random connections of the diffuse mode.

As one of the videos stated, the “octopus of attention” is a metaphor related to the slippery skin of the octopus–that’s why we can forget so easily.

The diffuse mode involves the use of the “octopus of attention,” which makes intentional connections between various parts of the brain.

Focusing your “octopus of attention” to connect parts of the brain to tie together ideas is an important part of the focused mode of learning. It is also often what helps get you started in creating a chunk.

Multi-tasking is not as bad as people say, because your “octopus of attention” can just grow an extra limb to accomodate the additional information your brain is attempting to access.

The diffuse mode involves the use of the “octopus of attention,” which makes intentional connections between various parts of the brain.

When you are stressed, your “attentional octopus” begins to lose the ability to make connections. This is why your brain doesn’t seem to work right when you’re angry, stressed, or afraid.

Focused attention.

Simple memorization

Practice to help you gain mastery and a sense of the big-picture context.

Understanding of the basic idea.

Spending time away from the material

Exercise

Varying your learning by switching between types of problems or taking a break.

Actively reviewing material when you are doing something else.

Focusing intently on the parts of the problem that are more difficult to you.

Using the “generation effect” of recall of a body of material instead of re-reading the material.

“Chunking” involves compressing information more compactly–this is part of why it is easier to draw a “chunked” idea or concept into mind.

Concepts and problem-solving methods you might learn for physics can be very similar to chunked concepts in business.

As you gain more experience in chunking in any particular subject, you will see that the chunks you are able to create are bigger—in some sense, the ribbons are longer.

When you are trying to figure something out, if you have a good library of chunks, you can more easily skip to the right solution by—metaphorically speaking—“listening” to whispers from your diffuse mode. Your diffuse mode can help you connect two or more chunks together in new ways to solve novel problems.

Understand the basic idea or concept you are trying to chunk.

Gain context for how and when to use this chunk by practicing.

Focus on the information you want to chunk.

Avoid practicing—that kills your creativity.

Draw concept maps instead of testing yourself.

Keep rereading what you are trying to chunk—avoid recall.
