Learning: It's All In Your Head

Our brains are amazing learning machines but, just like a computer with limited storage, they prioritise what to remember. This is based on survival instincts. New and potentially dangerous situations grab our attention, while less important details fade away. This forgetting is actually helpful - it prevents information overload and lets us focus on what truly matters.

To learn effectively, we need to move information from short-term memory to long-term memory. Repetition is key! By revisiting information consistently and in different ways over time, our brains file it as important and worth remembering.

Cramming, however, is a bad strategy for long-term learning (unless you have a super memory!). It overwhelms the brain, and the information is quickly forgotten.

For new information, spread out your studying. Break it down into short, manageable chunks and revisit them regularly. The more you connect new information to what you already know, the stronger the memory will be.

Key takeaways:

By adopting a brain-centred approach, you can optimise your learning and retention for the long term.

Focus on understanding, not just memorising.

Repeat information consistently, but spaced out over time.

Use different learning methods (e.g., visuals, practice problems) to engage different parts of your brain.

Connect new information to existing knowledge to create stronger neural pathways.
