RECORDED ON JUNE 10th 2024.
Dr. Paul Penn is Senior Lecturer in the School of Psychology at the University of East London. His interests revolve around cognitive psychology and understanding how we can best use psychological knowledge to improve the way people learn, communicate and collaborate. He is the author of The Psychology of Effective Studying: How to Succeed in Your Degree.

In this episode, we focus on The Psychology of Effective Studying. We discuss what it means to study effectively, metacognition, the Dunning-Kruger effect, and the difference between remembering and understanding. We talk about procrastination and how we can deal with it. We discuss note-taking, summarization, and the 3R method: read, recite, and review. We talk about academic integrity, the issue of plagiarism, writing assessments at degree level, the challenges of working collaboratively in academia, and common mistakes in delivering presentations. Finally, we address a question from a patron as to whether going to college makes a big difference in a person’s intelligence and professional skills.

Regarding fixing procastination you have two variables:

- instiling of a habit. That requires forced repetition with a trainer, or alone, of the new habit for the first few weeks.

- internal clock regulation. People either have a short term internal clock or long term internal clock (longe term people are usually high in conscienciousness and don't deal with procrastination). Short term people (look up Diane Van Deren on Radiolab) need to override it with 10 min. increments and extend it as long as possible. For example, when running, focusing on doing just one more step and one more step and one more step and so on. Instead of planning on doing 3 full stadium tracks.

5:00 perception is the task of consciousness type two not type one, for instance you can focus more on visual information (visual perception) that already processed via consciousness type two, unknowingly and mostly unwillingly, but that does not mean that consciousness type one us responsibble for perception, it could guide it but it is not the rask of consciouness type one.

[aminam]

awareness is the result of conscious processes, and humans retrieve it when needed so no need to do the exact same conscious processes once again, but they can reprocess them, …. etc to concise: awareness is the result of former conscious processes (related to consciousness type one).

[aminam]

As for logic, it is not possible to generalize completely! For example, learning a new programming language will have restrictions determined by the design of that language and the restrictions it imposes, as well as the advantages and disadvantages (limited to the logic of the one who designed that language).

[aminam]

All that already was written many years ago, some irrational thieves already wrote books out of that (human thoughts are booty). I wrote about The thinking process too, how humans think and retrieve precious thoughts, …etc

[aminam]

Are Human thoughts suitable only for theft purposes?
