Scope of application: Memorize all the knowledge points that you find difficult to memorize. It can also be used to answer questions, and it is also very easy to use.

The hippocampus memorization method is an efficient learning and memory technique. It is based on the mechanism of the hippocampus in the brain. It makes full use of the important role of the hippocampus, a key area of the brain, in memory processing.

Study before going to bed

During sleep, the hippocampus processes content learned before sleep, which helps deepen memory.

Get up and review

After waking up, review what you learned last night and use your awake state in the morning to consolidate your memory.

Harnessing hippocampal activity

hunger endorsement

Walk around endorsement

cold endorsement

Create a specific environment to stimulate hippocampus activity

Ebbinghaus learning method

Practical index:

Scope of application: Suitable for memory and review, used to combat forgetfulness

Forgetting Curve Law

The forgetting curve shows that after learning, the speed of forgetting is fast first and then slows down, and the speed of forgetting is fastest in the early stage of learning.

review cycle

Includes: 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 12 hours, 1 day, 2 days, 4 days, 7 days and 15 days

Ebbinghaus's memory method emphasizes review at specific points in time to enhance memory effects.

Diversity of memory methods

Regular and timely review and self-assessment

Try to recall, talk and argue, ask questions, etc.

Cornell note-taking

Practical index:

Scope of application: Applicable to almost all lectures or reading classes, especially suitable for lecture notes

introduce

Also known as the 5R note-taking method, proposed by Walter Pauk of Cornell University in 1974

Combines the five steps of recording, simplifying, memorizing, thinking and reviewing

step

Record

Record as much key information as possible and review it when listening to lectures or reading

Reduce

Briefly summarize the recorded content in the clue column

Recite

Cover the notes column and only use the clue column to prompt memories and narration

Reflect ‌

Compile your thoughts and experiences from listening to the lectures into an outline or summary

Review ‌

Review your notes regularly and look at the clue column to consolidate your learning results.

five star note taking

Practical index:

Scope of application: reading notes, meeting minutes, etc., any occasion where you want to study the other party’s expression logic and content.

five questions

1. Predict what the other party is going to say. Why is this worth discussing?

2. What is the logic behind recording the other party’s explanation?

3. What questions and inspirations do I have from this discussion?

4. What thinking models can I distill from the other party’s practices, ideas, or inspiration points?

5. Discuss inspiration: What can become the next steps? How to apply them in life?

Pomodoro learning method

Most recommended

Practical index:

Scope of application: Helps you improve time efficiency and concentration, suitable for both study and work

Introduction to Pomodoro Technique

A micro time management method, setting Pomodoro time to improve work efficiency

Pomodoro Technique Principles

Pomodoro time is indivisible and irrelevant things are not allowed

Emphasize the importance of a personalized work and rest schedule

Pomodoro Technique Process

Form a cycle from planning tasks, setting Pomodoro, working, resting and reviewing

Take longer breaks after every four Pomodoros

Feynman learning method

Practical index:

Scope of application: This method is suitable for academic fields, such as mathematics, physics and other science subjects. You can understand a knowledge point by yourself and then teach it to others.

The origin of Feynman learning method

Proposed by Nobel Prize winner in physics Richard Feynman

Make sure you have a deeper understanding of things this way

Four steps of Feynman learning method

Pretend to teach knowledge to children and simply write down basic concepts and relationships

Review and discover the deficiencies in your understanding, return to the original material and study again

Organize notes into stories using simple language, making sure no jargon is used

Teach knowledge to another person to verify one's own understanding
