How to Learn and Retain what we learn?

Our brain is the most complex machine around the world, it uses 33% of the total energy that we intake, It is actually impossible to know how it operates precisely but research from university of California says a brief picture about how our brain works let us look at some of the research and learn how to learn

1 — Our brain is like a pin ball game when some though arises it takes a path form one neuron to another and make a pattern of paths of neurons. when we are focused the path made by the neurons is dense thus it gives factual thoughts while when we see a broad picture then the path made by the neurons is loosely packed. Our brain juggles from one state to another according to a situation

2 — Our brain is like a muscle, and to make it powerful we need to train it little by little everyday. Also it gets tired after half and hour or 45 minutes of work thus it needs some rest after each session of working, thus in order to get best results taking breaks and doing some enjoyable work just for few minutes will give us high accuracy.

3 — There are two types of memory in our brain one is short term memory and one is long term memory. short term memory can sustain up to 4 different works or tasks at a time and also anything within the short term memory fades away easily, thus in order to retain that memory continuous repetition is required. Also to retain something in a long term memory repeating the tasks further and further will only make it stronger and easily accessible. one must revise anything with increased amount of breaks

4 — Your brain renews while sleeping. Sleeping is a method in which our brain is filtering out toxic generated within the brain in order to clean those toxic substances neurons shrink and fresh blood flows within the brain and thus clearing the fluid around the neurons thus sleeping is a very important process in the path of learning.

5 — Our brain stores information as chunks, chunks are small parts of information clustered and stored, for example if you are playing a song on a guitar, the whole song is a chunk of memory collected bit by bit. Thus in order to learn one song we need to learn parts of the song bit by bit and our brain will store that on a chunk basis and thus we will play the song by playing every chunk.

6 — How to make chunks is method of recalling, when you learn something just close the book and try to recall the material, the more you can recall the good is your chunk making process.

following these simple steps can make learning easier and better, keep learning
