Higher Level Learning

• Take information and connect it to other things
• Compare information with other information. Zoom out and zoom in.
• This learning tells your brain that the information you are trying to learn is important.
• Creates a network of knowledge.
• Snowball effect: As you learn more things make more sense.

Lower level learning

• Like flash cards is boring and you lose motivation behind doing something

Learning to Learn is a skill you need to get better at.

Steps:

1. Tune into the Feeling - Give it relevance
   • Tune into the feeling of lower level and higher order learning
   • When you feel the information is irrelevant, flip to the higher order and give it relevance
2. Go to Higher level order
   • Group information together
   • Compare and see if the information makes sense
   • Groups may be different to what textbooks have given it to us
   • Decide which groups is the most effective to us
3. Leverage Note Taking
   • This is not about writing everything down
   • Good note taking should help our brain think
   • We need to think about the groups we want to form

Other Notes:

Misinterpreted Effort Hypothesis: when we think something takes too much effort, we also see it as being ineffective
