However, \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/anahomayoun?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ana Homayoun\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, an academic advisor and early career development expert, challenges the belief that taking all AP classes, starting on the varsity team and being first string in orchestra guarantees the skills a student needs to thrive in college and beyond. “We all play a role in supporting students \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/58155/grades-have-huge-impact-but-are-they-effective\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">beyond grades\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, test scores and college admission,” she said. “I started to think about what are the key skills that are not just crucial for our livelihood but also for social and economic mobility.” In her book \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://anahomayoun.com/erasing-the-finish-line/\">\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Erasing the Finish Line: The New Blueprint for Success Beyond Grades and College Admission,\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Homayoun draws from over two decades of working with students to show how the narrow focus on competitive college admissions has inadvertently sidelined necessary skills like organization, planning, prioritization and non-transactional relationship building. These assets, she added, are essential for success not only in college but also in career paths and personal relationships.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">While there have always been students who were not ready for college, Homayoun noted that the \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://hechingerreport.org/after-the-pandemic-disrupted-their-high-school-educations-students-are-arriving-at-college-unprepared/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">pandemic has made this more common\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. “Particularly after the last few years, I will say that students’ skill sets aren’t as developed as they were in the past,” she said. Today’s students may struggle with managing their time effectively, building meaningful connections, and adapting to the challenges of a dynamic post-high school environment. Homayoun helps families establish a new approach to academic success and overall well-being that will sustain children in their journeys after K-12 education. She advises moving away from the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/62235/teens-are-overwhelmed-by-pressure-to-achieve-how-can-parents-restore-balance\">relentless pursuit of accolades\u003c/a> and places a renewed emphasis on social well-being and emotional development. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Given that there’s no one-size-fits-all path to success for any student, parents can support their child in \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">building strong habits and refining skills that have a lasting impact on long-term success.\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> According to Homayoun, paying attention to kids’ energy levels, honing extracurricular commitments, and improving conversation skills yields benefits that extend far beyond gaining acceptance into college.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Pay attention to energy levels\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It’s common for parents to get caught up in a culture of comparison and wonder if their child is involved in enough activities for the college admissions process, especially during the transition from middle to high school, Homayoun pointed out. She urges parents to shift their perspective from time management, often driven by an unending to-do list, to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/60543/what-parents-need-to-monitor-about-teens-sleep-beyond-the-hour-count\">energy management\u003c/a>. Being attuned to a child’s energy levels empowers parents to understand their behavior patterns and support them in recharging when necessary. Homayoun said it can be as simple as asking three key questions: “What energizes you? What drains you? And how do you recharge?” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Parents can monitor their child’s energy levels by assessing the activities they participate in and ensuring there is a healthy balance between activity and rest. For instance, a child might require more transition time when moving between activities or need solo time during the weekend to recover from a demanding week. A child’s energy profile may evolve over time. Circumstances such as an injury, breakup, or \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/59837/four-circles-of-self-care-a-tool-to-help-students-make-mental-health-a-daily-practice\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">mental health concerns can also have an impact on a child’s energy profile\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, whether temporarily or more permanently. Homayoun suggested that parents stay flexible and shift priorities accordingly.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It’s crucial to move away from the notion that there is something “wrong” with an \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/62119/how-extroverted-teachers-can-engage-introverted-students\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">introverted child\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> who doesn’t socialize in the same way as their extroverted siblings or parents, said Homayoun. Embracing and respecting individual energy profiles allows each child to thrive in their own way, ensuring that they have the space and support to develop the skills and self-awareness necessary for a successful journey through education and beyond. While the race to college acceptance can push children to keep going until they burn out, shifting the focus to energy management helps parents support their child in a more sustainable and balanced approach to life.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Determine what is going to “take the B”\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In her book, Homayoun introduces the concept of “taking the B,” which means deciding which activities and obligations can take a back seat in one’s life. As children grow older, activities that were once minor commitments may start demanding more time and energy, leading to packed schedules that leave little room for rest, reflection and open-ended exploration. “I regularly see students who are in school from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., and then have an activity from 3:30 to 6 p.m., and then need to commute home and complete one to three hours of homework,” wrote Homayoun. This kind of demanding schedule takes a toll on their energy, mood and motivation. It can foster a sense of never doing enough and an unceasing pressure to do more, which, in turn, can erode their self-esteem. \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/59625/three-reasons-teens-need-later-school-start-times\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Valuable sleep time is often sacrificed\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> as schedules become increasingly packed. “For students, the notion of “taking the B” shouldn’t be about grades or test scores but rather daily and weekly allocation of energy,” wrote Homayoun. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Parental fears can often shape a student’s schedule, with concerns that reducing extracurricular involvement may limit future opportunities. However, Homayoun emphasizes that the “bigger, better” culture doesn’t necessarily benefit anyone. Rather than encouraging kids to do it all, she urged parents to help them assess their schedules and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/61739/when-should-you-let-your-kid-quit\">identify activities that can be scaled back\u003c/a>. This doesn’t necessarily mean quitting an activity entirely. For instance, if a student enjoys playing a sport but doesn’t want to commit to it at a high level, they can \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/59342/how-can-high-school-sports-better-serve-students\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">join a low-commitment recreational league\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Reducing a child’s commitments can enable them to experience greater happiness, improved rest and less burnout.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Build conversation skills\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many of the students Homayoun has worked with who have achieved the professional or personal success they aspired to possess strong conversation and small talk skills. “We get stuck in this faulty finish line of college admissions and the test scores and grades. And we think, ‘Oh, well, this kid is getting great grades, then they clearly are doing fine,’ but they don’t have the ability to connect,\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">” she said. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Developing better small talk skills can boost a student’s confidence in \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/58462/how-to-help-anxious-students-re-adjust-to-social-settings\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">navigating new social environments that might otherwise feel overwhelming\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Homayoun encourages students to engage in conversations with people from different generations, because conversations with peers or family members can be limiting. “A lot of students are like, ‘Oh, I’m talking about college admissions with my classmates.’ And I’m like, ‘Well, none of them have applied to college yet,’\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">”\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> said Homayoun.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For parents who are looking to build their child’s small talk skills, Homayoun suggested making it a game. During gatherings, whether they are family events or neighborhood barbecues, parents can challenge their child to initiate brief conversations with three new people. This practice not only helps in making eye contact, reading nonverbal cues, starting a conversation, asking questions, and wrapping up a conversation effectively but also improves their confidence in social situations.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Summer jobs that involve interacting with the public, like working at a grocery store or lifeguarding at a local pool, can help teenagers build their conversation skills.

Why is effective studying so counterintuitive? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: Students are doing things that feel really effective at the moment.

The most dramatic example, which I write about in the book, is reading over your notes. It’s the most common study strategy and it’s bad in two ways. It’s not very good for memory. But it also increases this feeling of familiarity. And to me, probably the most surprising idea in the book is that you can think you know things. A strong feeling of familiarity leads people to judge that they know something. But it’s not the kind of knowing that’s going to be expected in the classroom. On a test, you need to connect information; you need to be able to explain it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://playlist.megaphone.fm/?e=KQINC5796443433&light=true\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the best ways to study is to probe your memory.

But doing flashcards is essentially testing yourself so I think it’s a great idea. There’s no reason you can’t pose and answer conceptual questions in a flashcard format, including essay questions.

Why should we trust your reading of the research here?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: That’s a great question. Initially I thought about trying to be super clear about the evidentiary status of each of these tips. They vary.

If they are lecturing in a way that assumes that you have done the reading and have to a certain extent mastered it, they are going to go beyond it. But sometimes it’s really not true at all. It’s frequently easier to listen than it is to read. If things aren’t perfectly clear, you can ask the instructor questions. You can’t query the author in the same way. So that’s the sort of thinking behind why I give this tip. It may make sense to do the reading after the lecture instead of before.

But it's also unexpectedly liberating, because Carey further explains that many things we think of as detractors from learning -- like forgetting, distractions, interruptions or sleeping rather than hitting the books -- aren’t necessarily bad after all. They can actually work in your favor, according to a body of research that offers surprising insights and simple, doable strategies for learning more effectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Society has ingrained in us “a monkish conception of what learning is, of you sitting with your books in your cell,” Carey told MindShift. It’s a ritual of self-discipline, isolation and blocks of repetitive practice, whether in math, vocabulary, piano or tennis. But that traditional ideal has psychological downsides. Often, “you feel like you haven't done it right or you haven't done enough of it,” he said. “It causes a lot of anxiety because of what we think we should be doing.” For many students, learning has become a high-stress burden.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\"Being self-aware about what's effective learning and how it happens, I think, gives you a real edge in making those choices.\"\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"How We Learn\" presents a new view that takes some of the pressure off. As a veteran science reporter for the New York Times and previously the Los Angeles Times, Carey has covered cognitive science, psychology and psychiatry for 20 years. (Disclosure: I’ve known Carey since we both worked at Time Inc. Health in the '90s.) Combing through decades of cognitive science investigations of memory and learning, he has pulled together its best lessons into a practical and engaging guide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He lays out a variety of counterintuitive techniques that can aid and deepen learning, sprinkles in some illustrative memory exercises and puzzles, and weaves in his own painful experiences as a restless and anxious -- yet dutiful and hardworking -- student who initially failed to get into college. All in all, Carey vividly shows readers how learning can be less of a chore and more a way of living that lets new information and skills “seep under our skin.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Getting to Know Your Brain's Memory Processes\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"LG2IUqQuWWO02sSA2LQB2niLoph4grUp\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview, he highlighted three take-home messages from his book:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Forgetting isn't always bad\u003c/strong>.\u003c/em> Most of the time, it’s natural and essential to remembering and learning. According to \u003ca href=\"http://bjorklab.psych.ucla.edu/research.html#ntd\">a theory\u003c/a> championed by Robert Bjork and Elizabeth Ligon Bjork at UCLA, forgetting serves as a powerful spam filter: Whenever you're trying to recall a word or fact, your brain has to actively suppress, or forget, competing information. What’s more, the way memories tend to fade over time actually aids subsequent learning. Under a principle the Bjorks call \u003ca href=\"http://bjorklab.psych.ucla.edu/pubs/RBjork_inpress.pdf\">desirable difficulty\u003c/a>, when the brain has to work hard to retrieve a half-forgotten memory (such as when reviewing new vocabulary words you learned the day before), it re-doubles the strength of that memory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you sit down to study a load of material, “of course you're not going to remember most of it the next day,” Carey said. You do have to go back and build your knowledge. “But it's not that you don't remember well, or you're not a good learner. It's that forgetting is a critical part of learning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>The brain is a foraging learner\u003c/strong>.\u003c/em> For our ancient hominid ancestors, remembering how and where to hunt prey or find shelter was crucial to survival. The human brain evolved to pick up valuable pieces of information here and there, on the fly, all the time, and put it all together, he said. It still does that -- absorbing cues from daily life, overheard conversations, its own internal musings. It keeps things in mind that are important to you (an unfinished project, for instance) and adds to your thoughts about them by subconsciously tuning in to any relevant information you see or hear around you. By foraging in this way, the brain is “building knowledge continually, and it's not only during study or practice,” Carey said. And we’re not even completely aware of that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>We can be tactical in our schooling\u003c/strong>.\u003c/em> The traditional advice on learning has been to “study hard,” in a quiet place and with the same routine, yet that doesn’t say much about what to specifically \u003cem>do\u003c/em>. But pupils today can change the way they study to exploit the brain’s quirky learning processes, using the strategies revealed by memory and learning research. While that science is still maturing, “it's at a place now where it can give you a specific tactical plan,” Carey said. Students can tailor their preparation with techniques targeting different kinds of content or skills, and manage their schedule to optimize their time. “That's a powerful thing, because we go through our whole lives never knowing that,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2014/08/how-we-learn.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-37471\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2014/08/how-we-learn-300x416.jpg\" alt=\"how-we-learn\" width=\"300\" height=\"416\">\u003c/a>For example:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-- Breaking up and \u003ca href=\"http://www.pashler.com/Articles/Cepeda%20et%20al%202008_psychsci.pdf\">spacing out study time\u003c/a> over days or weeks can substantially boost how much of the material students retain, and for longer, compared to lumping everything into a single, nose-to-the-grindstone session.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-- Varying the studying environment -- by hitting the books in, say, a cafe or garden rather than only hunkering down in the library, or even by listening to different background music -- can help reinforce and sharpen the memory of what you learn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-- A 15-minute break to go for a walk or trawl on social media isn’t necessarily wasteful procrastination. Distractions and interruptions can allow for mental “incubation” and flashes of insight -- but only if you’ve been working at a problem for a while and get stuck, according to a 2009 research \u003ca href=\"http://www.psy.cmu.edu/~unsio/Sio_Ormerod_meta_analysis_incubation_PB.pdf\">meta-analysis\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-- Quizzing oneself on new material, such as by reciting it aloud from memory or trying to tell a friend about it, is a far more powerful way to master information than just re-reading it, according to work by researchers including Henry Roediger III and Jeffrey Karpicke. (Roediger has co-authored his own book, \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674729018\">Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning\u003c/a>.\")\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Experimenting With Learning Tactics\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anybody can try these methods to see what works best, Carey said. For instance, to prepare for a Spanish test that’s one week away, students could plan to study an hour today, an hour tomorrow -- and then self-test themselves next week right before the exam, he said. The book also explores the benefits of sleep (which \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2013/01/why-sleeping-may-be-more-important-than-studying/\">improves retention and comprehension\u003c/a> of what you learn), \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/07/health/07learn.html\">perceptual learning modules\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://uweb.cas.usf.edu/~drohrer/pdfs/Rohrer2012EPR.pdf\">mixing up different kinds of related problems\u003c/a> or skills in practice sessions instead of repetitively rehearsing just one skill at a time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"gJ1Dn1ghHCh76qqgOqzmqX15nPVUFgqF\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carey thinks the science-based learning strategies should explicitly be taught to all students early on, as part of the school curriculum. But kids shouldn't use them “as an excuse to do nothing,” he added.

But that’s not necessarily true, according to the cognitive research. Students need to understand that learning happens not only during reading and studying, but in all sorts of ways, so that they can examine their own habits to know which ones may be helping or not, and make adjustments, he said.

In the modern jungle of society, learning is still about surviving: For young people, it’s about sussing out what they’re good at, what rings their bell, and what they want to do with their lives. “It's informing you of: Who am I? Where do I place my bets? Do I major in physics or do I major in architecture or design, or do I major in English? Do I belong here at all?” Carey said.

For example, when reading a difficult scientific journal article, “I realize I'm not going to understand a bunch of the stuff right away, no matter how hard I try or concentrate. I don't let that slow me down.” He runs through it a few times, puts it aside and, spacing out his learning, tries again later, when the material almost always begins to gel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deadline pressure often forces him to start writing his article before he even has all the pieces, which is an “extremely valuable way to efficiently pick up the knowledge,” he said. “In effect, you’re testing yourself on how much you know... \u003cem>and\u003c/em> you're trying to write it clearly so you're sort of teaching it, too.

But it's also unexpectedly liberating, because Carey further explains that many things we think of as detractors from learning -- like forgetting, distractions, interruptions or sleeping rather than hitting the books -- aren’t necessarily bad after all. They can actually work in your favor, according to a body of research that offers surprising insights and simple, doable strategies for learning more effectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Society has ingrained in us “a monkish conception of what learning is, of you sitting with your books in your cell,” Carey told MindShift. It’s a ritual of self-discipline, isolation and blocks of repetitive practice, whether in math, vocabulary, piano or tennis. But that traditional ideal has psychological downsides. Often, “you feel like you haven't done it right or you haven't done enough of it,” he said. “It causes a lot of anxiety because of what we think we should be doing.” For many students, learning has become a high-stress burden.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\"Being self-aware about what's effective learning and how it happens, I think, gives you a real edge in making those choices.\"\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"How We Learn\" presents a new view that takes some of the pressure off. As a veteran science reporter for the New York Times and previously the Los Angeles Times, Carey has covered cognitive science, psychology and psychiatry for 20 years. (Disclosure: I’ve known Carey since we both worked at Time Inc. Health in the '90s.) Combing through decades of cognitive science investigations of memory and learning, he has pulled together its best lessons into a practical and engaging guide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He lays out a variety of counterintuitive techniques that can aid and deepen learning, sprinkles in some illustrative memory exercises and puzzles, and weaves in his own painful experiences as a restless and anxious -- yet dutiful and hardworking -- student who initially failed to get into college. All in all, Carey vividly shows readers how learning can be less of a chore and more a way of living that lets new information and skills “seep under our skin.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Getting to Know Your Brain's Memory Processes\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview, he highlighted three take-home messages from his book:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Forgetting isn't always bad\u003c/strong>.\u003c/em> Most of the time, it’s natural and essential to remembering and learning. According to \u003ca href=\"http://bjorklab.psych.ucla.edu/research.html#ntd\">a theory\u003c/a> championed by Robert Bjork and Elizabeth Ligon Bjork at UCLA, forgetting serves as a powerful spam filter: Whenever you're trying to recall a word or fact, your brain has to actively suppress, or forget, competing information. What’s more, the way memories tend to fade over time actually aids subsequent learning. Under a principle the Bjorks call \u003ca href=\"http://bjorklab.psych.ucla.edu/pubs/RBjork_inpress.pdf\">desirable difficulty\u003c/a>, when the brain has to work hard to retrieve a half-forgotten memory (such as when reviewing new vocabulary words you learned the day before), it re-doubles the strength of that memory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you sit down to study a load of material, “of course you're not going to remember most of it the next day,” Carey said. You do have to go back and build your knowledge. “But it's not that you don't remember well, or you're not a good learner. It's that forgetting is a critical part of learning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>The brain is a foraging learner\u003c/strong>.\u003c/em> For our ancient hominid ancestors, remembering how and where to hunt prey or find shelter was crucial to survival. The human brain evolved to pick up valuable pieces of information here and there, on the fly, all the time, and put it all together, he said. It still does that -- absorbing cues from daily life, overheard conversations, its own internal musings. It keeps things in mind that are important to you (an unfinished project, for instance) and adds to your thoughts about them by subconsciously tuning in to any relevant information you see or hear around you. By foraging in this way, the brain is “building knowledge continually, and it's not only during study or practice,” Carey said. And we’re not even completely aware of that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>We can be tactical in our schooling\u003c/strong>.\u003c/em> The traditional advice on learning has been to “study hard,” in a quiet place and with the same routine, yet that doesn’t say much about what to specifically \u003cem>do\u003c/em>. But pupils today can change the way they study to exploit the brain’s quirky learning processes, using the strategies revealed by memory and learning research. While that science is still maturing, “it's at a place now where it can give you a specific tactical plan,” Carey said. Students can tailor their preparation with techniques targeting different kinds of content or skills, and manage their schedule to optimize their time. “That's a powerful thing, because we go through our whole lives never knowing that,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2014/08/how-we-learn.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-37471\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2014/08/how-we-learn-300x416.jpg\" alt=\"how-we-learn\" width=\"300\" height=\"416\">\u003c/a>For example:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-- Breaking up and \u003ca href=\"http://www.pashler.com/Articles/Cepeda%20et%20al%202008_psychsci.pdf\">spacing out study time\u003c/a> over days or weeks can substantially boost how much of the material students retain, and for longer, compared to lumping everything into a single, nose-to-the-grindstone session.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-- Varying the studying environment -- by hitting the books in, say, a cafe or garden rather than only hunkering down in the library, or even by listening to different background music -- can help reinforce and sharpen the memory of what you learn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-- A 15-minute break to go for a walk or trawl on social media isn’t necessarily wasteful procrastination. Distractions and interruptions can allow for mental “incubation” and flashes of insight -- but only if you’ve been working at a problem for a while and get stuck, according to a 2009 research \u003ca href=\"http://www.psy.cmu.edu/~unsio/Sio_Ormerod_meta_analysis_incubation_PB.pdf\">meta-analysis\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-- Quizzing oneself on new material, such as by reciting it aloud from memory or trying to tell a friend about it, is a far more powerful way to master information than just re-reading it, according to work by researchers including Henry Roediger III and Jeffrey Karpicke. (Roediger has co-authored his own book, \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674729018\">Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning\u003c/a>.\")\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Experimenting With Learning Tactics\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anybody can try these methods to see what works best, Carey said. For instance, to prepare for a Spanish test that’s one week away, students could plan to study an hour today, an hour tomorrow -- and then self-test themselves next week right before the exam, he said. The book also explores the benefits of sleep (which \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2013/01/why-sleeping-may-be-more-important-than-studying/\">improves retention and comprehension\u003c/a> of what you learn), \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/07/health/07learn.html\">perceptual learning modules\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://uweb.cas.usf.edu/~drohrer/pdfs/Rohrer2012EPR.pdf\">mixing up different kinds of related problems\u003c/a> or skills in practice sessions instead of repetitively rehearsing just one skill at a time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carey thinks the science-based learning strategies should explicitly be taught to all students early on, as part of the school curriculum. But kids shouldn't use them “as an excuse to do nothing,” he added. The message isn’t that they can spend every second glued to their cellphones and still be learning. “You have to be motivated and pay attention and so on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, most people, educators included, are unaware of the lessons from the science of learning, Carey said. Education and cognitive science are largely separate worlds that have begun communicating only in the last decade, partly because “teachers see all sorts of reforms come and go, and they’re skeptical -- and rightly so -- of anyone who comes in and says, \"Well, I'm going to tell you how to make the kids learn better,” he said.
