How to build strong blocks
As the author of this chapter gave the example, when the first “mobile phone” was born, it was a bowling ball; when the first awkward refrigerator came to life, it was a strange device used in a brewery; and the first engine was as big as a giant, but the horsepower was just like today's cardin。
It is only after a period of trial that inventions are given the opportunity to discover their shortcomings and then improve them. For example, if you have a functioning engine in your hand, it is easy to make some improvements to its individual functions or to add new ones to it. There are many innovations, such as the turbine boosting of engines. Engineers found that more air and fuel into the combustion chamber could be fully powered。
Do you remember? A little reading and jumping to the end of the chapter to look at the problem, helps you start building up the understanding group。
Just as inventions are constantly being optimized and improved, this chapter is about learning to optimize and improve our set-up functions. The creation of a pool of groups would enable you to perform better in your examinations while at the same time being more creative in solving problems. Whoever you're trying to be, the knowledge base created by the building blocks can help you. (in case you're curious, so don't sell it, in this chapter we jump back to the topic of building up the team, which is an example of the practical use of cutting-in learning, that is, changing the content of learning, going back to the books, and strengthening the methods that we have learned before
The point is here: it is easier to learn basic concepts in mathematics and science than to learn a lot of hard-core subjects. It doesn't mean it's easy to carry something, it doesn't matter, or you ask any medical student with a medical license
One reason for this statement is that, once you start solving a mathematical, scientific problem, you will find that every step you make will lead to the next step. Internalized absorption techniques enhance neuroactivity and make it easier for you to hear the intuitive intuitive whispers that speak to you. When you look at it, you can see that there's a solution, that there's a real understanding of the subject, that you've succeeded in building a command block, and its orders are like a song sweeping through your head. The cluster database will make you understand basic concepts in a unique way。
With that explanation, let's continue。
Steps to build strong clusters:
1. Address a priority topic on paper throughout the process. "secure that you have a ready answer, whether you've done it before or in the book. But don't look at the answer unless you have to.) before you solve the question or get a complete answer, you must not peek at the answer, skip any steps, or lie to yourself and say, “great, it's done”. It is important to ensure that every step is justified。
2. Rerun, with special attention to the key steps. If you think it's a little strange to redo the same thing, think about it, you can't just play a song once and he can learn a song, and you can't just lift a dumb bell once, even if it's done。
3. Rest. If you need it, you can study the rest of the subject and then do something else. Part-time work, study in different disciplines, or play basketball. You have to give the dispersing mode enough time to digest the problem。
Sleep. Before you go to sleep, put that question over again. If it's stuck, then the other way around is to listen to the question. Your subconscious will tell you what to do next。
5. One more time. The following day, the issue was repeated as soon as possible. And then you'll find you can solve the problem more quickly. You should have a deeper understanding of this. You don't even understand why you were stuck on this. At this point, you can calculate every step of the way. The part that bothers you the most. This persistent focus is called “deliberate practice”. While sometimes exhausting, this is one of the most important aspects of efficient learning. (the alternative or complementary approach is to answer a similar question and see if it can easily be taken
6. Add new questions to the agenda. Pick a more difficult topic and solve it using the same method as the first one. The answer to this question becomes the second block in your grouping database. In the back of these tracks, one to five steps. If the subject has been taken care of, the next one will be taken up. You'll be surprised to see that, although your collection has only a few solid blocks, it has already greatly improved your knowledge of learning materials and your ability to solve new problems efficiently。
“initiative” repetition. On the way to the library, or when exercising, it is possible to reflect in the mind on the key steps of a subject. You can also spend the rest of your time waiting for a bus, a car or a professor's finger to go into the classroom. Active rehearsing in the military enhances your ability to think about key concepts and helps to get back to the point in homework or exams。
These are key steps in building a cluster database. What you're doing is building and strengthening a network of neurons that are constantly connected to each other, making your blocks richer and stronger. The principle used here is to produce results. The production of materials (i. E. Retrospect) can help you learn more effectively than simply repeat reading。
“it takes hours per week to complete the work. But how am i supposed to do this four times?"
In response, i would like to ask you this: what is your real goal? For homework? Or for a good grade? To show that you're in possession of these materials? Or is most of the course results a base score? Believe in it, the fact that books are open for reference does not guarantee that you're proud of the exam, and more importantly, it does not mean that you really have the learning materials。
If time is running out, you can use the method of generation as a deliberate exercise on some of the most difficult issues, in order to strengthen learning content, speed up learning and speed up your problem-solving skills。
The law of opportunity
And remember, the lucky goddess is only looking to the hard-working. Do not panic when you see the full knowledge of new subjects. Instead, by focusing on some key concepts, you would be surprised to see how useful it is to have a “cluster-building step” of internal distress。
So the way musicians improve their performance skills can also be used for mathematics learning, such as a violin master who does not practice a single song many times from beginning to end. Instead, she would focus on the hardest part。
Research has shown that the more you try to look back at learning materials, the deeper it is implanted in memory. Rethinking is the best way to practice in learning than simply repeating reading. The difference between low-level players and master players is that master players spend more time identifying their weaknesses and overcoming deficiencies。
The extraction exercise is one of the most effective ways of learning. It has far more effect than simply rereading material. It would be very efficient to construct a cluster database to address the problem, precisely because it was based on extraction exercises. Don't get confused by power. Remember, just staring at the learning material available on the page makes you think you've learned, and you don't。
"team desktop"
I'm a full-time engineering student and a full-time engineering technician, and i can't think of it all at once. In this regard, i'm thinking of building large clusters -- thermal, mechanical, programming, and so on. When i need to look at individual items, i set aside the current focus. And look at the group that you want, it's like clicking on a link to your desktop. I can focus on a particular region, or i can search the entire desktop in dispersive mode and find conceptual links between clusters. A clean and orderly think-by-thinking table could make the connection easier. It makes me think more agile and allows me to explore a subject more deeply。

Bottleneck: suddenly your knowledge structure seems to be going down
Learning progress is not as logical as adding new packages to the shelf of your knowledge base every day. Sometimes, you encounter bottlenecks in building understanding. The things that were right before seem to have suddenly become confused。
When you reorganize your understanding of content -- to build a stronger knowledge base, such “knowledge collapses” often occur. As far as language learners are concerned, they sometimes experience similar experiences, and foreign languages being studied suddenly become as obscure as klingon。
Remember, new knowledge takes time. In the process of understanding, you go through periods that seem to be like a regression in understanding, and you get upset about it. It's a very natural phenomenon, and it shows that your brain is tapping into these materials. After a temporary period of distress, you'll find your knowledge base a big step forward。
Let everything go in order: combing your learning materials
When you're ready, comb your questions and answers, you can quickly browse. Some students write the answers by hand on the corresponding page of the textbooks, so that all the materials are within reach. (if the book is to be returned later, it can be used as a masked tape for painting or as a convenient sticker to paste the answer.) the handwritten answer is important because the handwritten process enhances your memory of the material, or you can sort out the important questions and answers in the classroom and in the books and place them in the hand-held folders, which can be used for rereading before the examination。
One of the great psychologists in history is known for memory. Statements
There's a strange feature of our memories, that active repetition is more profound than passive repetition. I mean, in the process of learning by heart (in this case) it's pretty much as clear that if you spend more time and energy reminiscent, it's better to read a book than to read it again. Through the recollection of the former approach, the next time the same elements are met, the answer is likely; if the latter approach is followed, we will probably need to revisit the book。
---william james (1890)
Tests are a powerful learning experience: they often give themselves a quiz
One of the important reasons for building clusters of solutions is that they can prevent you from getting confused at the exam. Frightened, i. E. Panicking into a blank in the brain -- once the work memory is filled and the brain has not enough space to carry the other critical parts of the problem, people lose. Building blocks would compress existing knowledge and free up memory space for work memory, so you wouldn't easily overload your nerves. Similarly, leaving more room for work memory means that you are more likely to recall the important details of the solution。
This reflection exercise is a quiz. Studies have shown that testing is not just a means of measuring the amount of knowledge learned. Testing itself is a strong learning experience. It can transform your existing knowledge systems or add bricks to them, while significantly improving your ability to remember learning materials. The improvements in the composition of knowledge through testing are referred to as “test effects”. It happens mostly because tests further reinforce and stabilize the associated neuromodels in the brain. This is exactly what we see in chapter 4, where there is a picture in the “unforgetable” section showing that, after repeated repetition, the corresponding regional colour in the brain deepens。
Even if the test results were unsatisfactory or did not receive any feedback, improvements based on the effects of the tests would occur. Nevertheless, when self-testing during your studies, you try to get as much feedback as possible and check the answers with a reference book, either by going through the books, or by going out to check your own answers. Not only that, but later we will talk about how interaction with fellow students and teachers can also help the learning process。
Students consider self-testing in retrospect to be merely a check on the quality of their studies, but this proactive retrospection test is one of the best learning methods and is much better than sitting there to read the material passively. By building your database of blocks and offering repeated and intensive extraction exercises of learning materials, as well as retrospect testing, you are already using the best learning methods and learning will be deeper and more effective。
It's your turn
Build a thinker. Library
The key to developing flexible professional thinking is to build a think tank that belongs to you. It's a database that you can read quickly, and it's always useful at critical times. Not only can this approach be used to solve mathematical and scientific problems, but it also applies to many aspects of life, such as why it is always best to observe the location of emergency exits relative to aircraft seats or hotel rooms。
Summary of this chapter
1. Grouping refers to the integration of a concept into a fluid nervous thinking model。
2. Clusters help to increase the availability of memory for work。
A cluster database containing conceptual solutions could form an intuitive perspective。
4. When you set up the cluster database, you should pay careful attention to the most difficult conceptual and reconciliation links。
This happens occasionally, and despite the hard work of learning, fate gives you a bad hand. But remember the rule of opportunity: if you're well prepared, practiced and build a think-tank, you'll find the lucky goddess more caring. In other words, if you do not work, you will surely fail, but those who have been working hard will surely experience more success。
Stay and look back
What are the main elements of this chapter? Few people can remember the details, but it's okay. If the concepts learned were grouped into several key clusters, you would be surprised to notice that your learning has accelerated。
Learning promotion
1. What is the link between team building and work memory
2. Why solve the problem in person during the build-up process? Why can't the answer be understood after reading? What can i do to help you comb the block before the exam
3. What are the test effects
4. Once you have practiced on a particular issue several times, stop and see if you can feel the next step correctly。
5. What are the rules of opportunity? To illustrate this point, for example, by its own experience。
6. How is the distillation and collapse of knowledge distributed
7. Students often abuse themselves by re-reading materials, rather than self-testing through reflection. How do you think you can avoid falling into this common trap
At the end of this chapter, the author cites the experience of a senior director of the ebay research laboratory, dr. Neil sanderson, and the findings of research we have learned in this book. His experience is to avoid marking, because, at least in my experience, highlighting a certain part can only create the illusion of ability (the illusion of the content is already in hand). The practice of extraction is much more effective. When reading each page, try to summarize the main contents and keep them in mind and turn to the next page. He'll do difficult subjects like mathematics in the morning, the best of all people. Now he's still doing it. Even the best of his thoughts, on several occasions in the bathroom or in the shower -- as long as i divert my attention from the subject, the pattern begins to spread its magic。
I read a few books about reading and remembering, and i didn't think i would find words in this book that made me feel as grateful as i was。
Good night to you.
