When outputting information, taking the initiative to create surprises can leave a deep impression on the audience.

Case: At the Apple press conference, Steve Jobs first pretended to introduce three products, and finally told the audience that these functions only needed an Apple mobile phone to realize them.

In addition to key information, try to avoid surprises, which can effectively ensure the acceptance efficiency of information recipients.

Case: The height of the traffic lights at each intersection is exactly the same, allowing the driver’s attention to focus on the color changes

Low brain activity levels

Neurons in the brain's hippocampus are susceptible to damage, and learning and memory abilities are weakened

Cortisol awakens ARC protein, allowing the brain to remember new information faster

Treat stress as a challenge, not a threat

When you are stressed out, you can consume cortisol through exercise and slow down the damage to the hippocampus caused by stress.

The physical and mental state during learning will also serve as nodes connected to the learning content.

Case: The author knew a postman who delivered a courier package after being drunk and did not remember where to store it until the next time he was drunk.

The environment and scenarios during learning will also serve as nodes connected to the learning content.

Case: The author’s uncle practices tackle football in the backyard all year round and can hit the ball with perfect accuracy, but once he goes to the golf course, he loses his accuracy.

When extracting information, the more nodes in the associative network that are connected to the information, the faster the brain extracts the process.

We can establish multiple related association objects for important knowledge and continuously strengthen the association relationship

When learning new knowledge, increasing memory methods can prevent path dependence in information retrieval.

For example: when memorizing words, you can memorize them in text, pictures, and actual conversations.

dorsal attention network

ventral attention network

Try not to listen to music when studying or driving. Unless it is already very familiar background music

When giving a report, the audience cannot read the text on the slide and listen at the same time. Therefore, it is best not to exceed 10 words in text information on slides, and you can use more pictures to convey information.
