NOTES
OUTLINES
- Notice what we're doing here
- Smooth repetition creates muscle memory, so your body knows what to do from a single thought.
- If you use the procedure a lot, by doing many different types of problems you'll find that you understand both the why and the how behind the procedure far better then you do after getting a conventional explanation from a teacher or a book.
- Remember, people learn by trying to make sense out of the information they perceive.
- Intelligence matters. Being smarter often equates to having a larger working memory.
- A superb working memory can hold its thoughts so tightly that new thoughts can't easily peek through
- Having a somewhat smaller working memory means you can more easily generalize your learning into new, more creative combinations.
- particularly deliberate practice on the toughest aspects of the material that can help lift average brains into the realm of those with more natural gifts.
