Learning techniques

Depends on what it is. If it’s through the brain, repetition and usage. Sometimes it helps to find a partner or to dive into the deep end and do something hard. You’ll have picked something up by the time you claw your way back out.
If it’s something physical, doing it and visualizing myself doing it. When visualizing, make sure to picture each and every single detail.
Another thing you can do is graba couple books on the topic and just read them. You’ll have something by the time you finish reading.

 

I'm revising for my theory driving test and it's brought me back to what I used to do for my exams in school.

I'm super bad at taking in information too so I have to literally sit and rewrite the textbook/topic. Rewording the sentences helps me understand what the sentences are actually saying instead of just mindlessly copying it. And after a few sentences I read out what I've written to myself or my cat.
It takes longer than other learning methods but it works for me.
Also if there's a way to visually remember a thing I will draw out a simple illustration to help me remember (for example in my driving test I was struggling to remember different names of crossing so for the toucan crossing I drew a toucan riding a bike (because toucan crossings both pedestrians and cyclists can use it))

 

I talk it out loud to myself. I found that explaining stuff to myself or other people allows me to get my thoughts in shape and solidify concepts.

 

What they said. But unfortunately, WHAT you study is a bigger factor than HOW you study. If you are genuinely interested in something, you are far more likely to remember what you have learned. In terms of HOW to study, try using acronyms, diagrams, and relate the material to something you already know/like. For example, if you are taking a language course, try finding words in your language with the same root or meaning as a word in English, and relate it to that word when studying.

 

I learn visually so making lots of charts works best for me. Also it helps if I have a study buddy and we can help eachother out if there’s something I don’t understand. I’ve learned that studying with someone else has helped me tremendously when it comes to learning languages.

 

I am an audio learner, which means I have to hear or discuss the topic with others to really get the gist of what is being taught.

Also I like to practice with things like translations and talk about them, as others can have a better or different solution to a problem.

 

I Am More Into Dual Visual And Hand-On Learner,So I Learn Thought Drawings And Visual.

Long story short, the best way for me to learn is to have someone lecture me about it, though I am not an auditory learner. I automatically take out the idea they are trying to convey in my mind and throw out everything else. The idea gets filed away in long term memory and I can recall it at any time. I rarely studied in school because I got it from the first lecture and if I didn't get it, I would ask them to tell me about it again, but usually, I learned to pick it up from the first round.

I am not an auditory learner because I need to use both my eyes and my ears in order for this process to work. I need to look at someone and there visuals.

 

Probably hearing how it's done multiple times? That's what helps me, anyway.

 

I'm a tactile learner, which means I have to physically do the problem over and over again before I can actually get it. This especially applies to math, but it's the same with pretty much anything. I need repetition- that's the best and most effective way for me to learn something.

 

I've watched every episode of Jeopardy for the last 20 years; that's how I know a lot of the random facts that I know. XD

Seriously, though, I employ a combination of different techniques when it comes to learning. Primarily I type out all of the notes for my classes in my own words as I'm listening to the lecture/discussion (I actually learn more through discussion, which is how I plan on approaching my lessons when I start teaching). I also make sure to set aside time to go over both the notes and the reading material (because if I don't set aside time on purpose I won't ever get around to it; I'm SO scatterbrained). I'll even talk to my classmates about the material, bouncing ideas and questions off each other to make better sense of it.
