22. Chunking
It is a form of compress information
22 / 43

23. Chunking
It is a form of compress information
Glue pieces of informaion throught meaning and use
turns things easier to remember
turns easier to take a big picture while learning (also to see relation
with other areas)
they increase with time

24. Chunking
It is a form of compress information
Glue pieces of informaion throught meaning and use
turns things easier to remember
turns easier to take a big picture while learning (also to see relation
with other areas)
they increase with time
Can be connected by diffuse mode in creativity way
needs double check in a focussed mode

38. General tips
Distribute and interleave your study helps you to learn more deeply
practice and repetition (distributed) build neuronal patterns
interleave build flexibility and creativity
try to construct relation in different macro fields. It'll improve
creativity to solve problems
going deeply in some fiel without knowing others can "evolve" you
in a so familiar way of thinking that you cannot think different and
deal with new ideas
