Episode notes
Learning Through Teaching
- Teaching reinforces learning through the 'explanation effect'.
- Explaining a concept to someone else, even a six-year-old (Feynman Technique), improves understanding and retention.
How We Learn
- Learning involves connecting new information to existing knowledge.
- Repetition helps, but it's less efficient than other learning strategies, especially given the rapid growth of information.
Memorization Technique
- Memorize information using the PIE method: Place, Imagine, and Entwine.
- Create a 'place' to store the information, 'imagine' a visual representation, and 'entwine' them by connecting the place and image.
