We forget things quickly and that the most effective way to prevent this forgetting is to practice at spaced intervals over time. Knowledge is easy to learn but hard to retain.

Knowledge is easy to learn but hard to retain.
-
Almost all courses are too long, present material in the wrong way and lead to unnecessary forgetting. Simplify to prevent cognitive overload.
-
The order you learn things is critical to how they will be stored and recalled, yet education and training continues to jumble and confuse content. This is critical in language learning, science, maths and indeed, every subject. Learn things in the wrong order and you’ll end up having to unlearn.
-
We still have far too much reliance on text (semantic) for subjects that need a visual (episodic) approach.
-
Learning does not take place without psychological attention, so setting up classrooms and scenarios that inhibit attention, or distract from learning, is massively counter-productive.
-
The bottom line is that most learning is best done on your own or one-to-one.
-
This is perhaps the most useful piece of scientific advice for teachers and trainers – dump the snakeoil techniques. These include learning styles, playing music while you learn, Brain Gym, left-right brain theories, NLP, stating the objectives at the start of a course…the list goes on.
-
the professions have doggedly chosen unproven pedagogy over prove psychology.

Spaced practice
-
most significant fact
-
completely ignored by the 'curse of the course and classroom'.
-
We forget things quickly and that the most effective way to prevent this forgetting is to practice at spaced intervals over time
-
Cognitive overload
-
Almost all courses are too long, present material in the wrong way and lead to unnecessary forgetting. Simplify to prevent cognitive overload.
-
Chunking
-
Chunking means being sensitive to the limitation of working memory.
-
Order
-
Learn things in the wrong order and you’ll end up having to unlearn.
-
Episodic and semantic memory
-
we have different types of memory
-
far too much reliance on text (semantic) for subjects that need a visual (episodic) approach
-
Psychological attention
-
setting up classrooms and scenarios that inhibit attention, or distract from learning, is massively counter-productive
-
most learning is best done on your own or one-to-one
-
Context
-
recall is enhanced by learning in the physical context in which one is expected to perform
-
work-placed learning needs to be massively increased and non-contextual classroom teaching decreased
-
Learn by doing
-
we learn lots by doing, yet much teaching and training is locked into a over-theoretical, knowledge and not skills, model.
-
Understand ‘peer’ groups
-
most books on parenting and teaching overestimate the influence of parents and teachers, and under-estimate the role of genetics and peer pressure
-
Murder the myths
-
dump the snakeoil techniques
