Question

Always avoid [...] when learning.

Answer

sets

status	not learned	measured difficulty	37% [default]	last interval [days]
repetition number in this series	0	memorised on		scheduled repetition
scheduled repetition interval		last repetition or drill

You should always try to make sure your brain works in exactly the same way at each repetition. In the case of sets, listing members in varying order at each repetition has a disastrous effect on memory.

True or False?

True

Question

Simple is easy.

Give an imagery on how this works.

Answer

Imagine a labyrinth. When making a repetition of a piece of material, your brain is running through a labyrinth. While running through the labyrinth, the brain leaves a track on the walls. If it can run in only one unique way, the path is continuous and easy to follow. If there are many combinations, each run may leave a different trace that will interfere with other traces making it difficult to find the exit.

Question

2 rules to follow in minimum information principle.

Answer

1. Simple is easy.

2. Split a complex item into sub-items. (i.e. To memorize an answer with many details, give each detail a question.)

Example:

Ill-formulated knowledge - Complex and wordy
Q: What are the characteristics of the Dead Sea? A: Salt lake located on the border between Israel and Jordan. Its shoreline is the lowest point on the Earth's surface, averaging 396 m below sea level. It is 74 km long. It is seven times as salty (30% by volume) as the ocean. Its density keeps swimmers afloat. Only simple organisms can live in its saline waters
Well-formulated knowledge - Simple and specific
Q: Where is the Dead Sea located? A: on the border between Israel and Jordan Q: What is the lowest point on the Earth's surface? A: The Dead Sea shoreline Q: What is the average level on which the Dead Sea is located? A: 400 meters (below sea level) Q: How long is the Dead Sea? A: 70 km Q: How much saltier is the Dead Sea as compared with the oceans? A: 7 times Q: What is the volume content of salt in the Dead Sea? A: 30% Q: Why can the Dead Sea keep swimmers afloat? A: due to high salt content Q: Why is the Dead Sea called Dead? A: because only simple organisms can live in it Q: Why only simple organisms can live in the Dead Sea? A: because of high salt content

Four principles for a proper Mind Map

1. [...]
2. Use only one word on each branch.
3. Central image should be unique and reflect the theme; using generic shapes with titles do not engage the brain.
4. Main branches of Mind Map should be thicker to reflect their importance.
5. Avoid locking thoughts in a box; this limits radiant flow of thought.

Answer

Avoid straight lines.
