Episode notes
Learning Is Active Sense-Making
- Learning is an active sense-making process, not passive exposure to facts.
- Use testing, self-explanation, and teaching to force active engagement and deeper understanding.
Think In Analogies Not Facts
- Use analogies and connections instead of memorizing isolated facts to build richer thinking.
- Thinking in analogies shifts learning toward solving problems, not just storing information.
Space Reviews To Beat Forgetting
- Space your study and revisit material regularly to counteract rapid forgetting.
- Expect large initial forgetting and plan repeated reviews to make learning durable.
