An Expert’s Advice on How to Learn

Learning Techniques

  • Focus/Don’t—According to Dr. Oakley, the brain has two modes of thinking: “focused,” which describes the state in which people focus on learning, and “diffused,” a neutral resting state in which the new information takes time to settle in the brain. When the brain is in diffuse mode, unexpected revelations and insights can occur. For this reason, experts suggest taking breaks after focusing intently on material for an extended period of time.
  • Taking Breaks—Speaking of which, in order to be better equipped to achieve those periods of focus, Dr. Oakley suggests using the Pomodoro Technique developed by Francesco Cirillo. To use this technique, the student simply sets a timer for 25 minutes of studying, which is followed by a brief reward. The reward can be anything from taking a walk to listening to a favorite song or anything else that allows your brain to slip into a more relaxed state.

  • Practice—As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. By practicing, one can begin “chunking,” or the process of creating a neutral pattern that can be retrieved later. In other words, when the brain acquires new information, it also creates innovative ways of storing and remembering this information. Once the information settles into the brain, the knowledge becomes easily accessible and eventually is incorporated into a string of complex concepts stored in the mind.
  • Know Thyself—Lastly, people learn in diverse ways. According to Dr. Oakley, some have “race car brains” and learn things quickly, whereas those with “hiker brains” take longer to understand information. Moreover, each of these types has its own sets of advantages and disadvantages. For instance, those with “race car brains” can learn things more quickly than most but may miss minor details. On the flip side, although it takes those with “hiker brains” longer to grasp concepts, they are more likely to retain the minor details.
