Recap

Linking

Start with what you know. Link your learning to examples and concepts you already know.

When you link something new with something that you already know, your brain uses the already established neural pathway to help you retrieve this new learning. The speed at which you can remember new concepts dramatically increases.

It is when you take a concept you’re learning and use something simpler to represent it. Concept swapping is an incredibly powerful twist on linking. Learning becomes faster and more permanent when we use the information we already know to represent what we are learning.

Describing the immune cells as soldiers, the heart as a pump or the mitochondria as a powerplant are all examples of concept swapping. This allows us to apply the framework of a concept we already know well to one we are learning. This speeds up the process of learning.

Because concepts stick around.

Think about gravity or temperature. These are both concepts. On a basic level, you understand the general idea of each. You don’t need to keep going back over them to remember the whole process. When you understand a concept, it tends to stay in your memory for a very long time.

Avoid the trap of half learning concepts over and over again. Instead, invest your time in the beginning – it will save you much more in the long run. And once you’ve successfully learnt a concept, linking will ensure that you never forget it.

The answer is something we have covered many times – Use.

When you ask “So what”, you force your brain to stop and assess the usefulness of your learning.

Two things happen here:

  • You decide it isn’t worth your time and move on.
  • You decide it is and take a moment to learn it.

When you ask, so what, you stop yourself from wasting time learning things that just aren’t that important. But the biggest benefit comes from what you decide is worth your time. You tag the information as important. Because of this, your brain pays more attention while learning it and encodes the information more effectively into your memory.
