How to Get the Most Out of Studying: Part 3 of 5, 'Cognitive Principles for Optimizing Learning'

[UniverseGoose]

Here is a little time saver.

Principals for Achieving Deep Processing
1. Elaboration: how does this concept relate to other concepts?
2. Distinctiveness: How is this concept different from other concepts?
3. Personal: How can I relate this concept to my personal experience?
4. Appropriate to Retrieval and Application: How am I expected to use or apply this concept?

Automaticity and Overlearning
Automaticity: A process so highly practiced that it occurs without and conscious effort.
Overlearning: Continuing to study beyond just knowing information to where it can be recalled quickly and easily.

I appreciate Dr.Chew mentioning that, when entering college, we have to overcome our high school skills! This is something that I never thought about.

'I know I told you not to study isolated facts. Unless your teacher asks you for isolated facts. Then study isolated facts'
Socrates over here!

I'm only here because my Prof expects me to memorize this x(

Studying for the Actuary Exams now, where overlearning is expected and not just encouraged. I wish I'd studied this way in college, it almost certainly would have raised my GPA.

these set of videos are soooo Amazing....Im so glad that youtube was invented so that information can be shared across many boaders and can be available to people who are less fortunate to have this information at hand.

[abdullahalkharji]

these videos changed my life (for real)

[ceew.]

I'm ONLY here because of my "professor" if she could even call herself that

[mostamazingfinds]

Dr. Hackett, I DONT WANT TO WATCH THIS AND WRITE AND ESSAY!

[claire]

i am here because of my professor >:(

It would be nice if you put on the description some references to those, like me, that are more interested in learning in dept details about the concepts you came up in the video. Great video.

Deep processing combined with motivation makes for a high level of learning.

Thank you, Dr. Chew for these videos on effective studying

[lesliebeltran]

This video explains how to achieve deep processing with the principles of elaboration, distinctiveness, personal, and how to appropriately use or apply the concept. I learned about the importance of overlearning to make continuous connections beyond just knowing the information.

I have autism and have a hard time learning so these videos are very helpful

[evnovave]

He said in an earlier video that personal learning styles don't exist, but in this video he said that we have to discover which learning strategy works for us... 👁👄👁

Samford sounds like Stanford like Spam sounds like ham.

in 10 years i want you too look back to this comment and see if skipping school was worth it.

[IGL]

These are wonderful. Thank you, it will greatly help with studying for my finals!
