Katrina L Well actually I disagree with people who say talent doesn't exist. It does exist. People just take it for granted or they assume that talent is all you need. Hard work is what really puts talent to great use. Everyone possesses talent. Whether you work at it and how you work at it, is up to you. It's not enough to be able to pick things up easily, you have to work hard too. Some people naturally learn faster or easier than others (of course there are factors that enables them to do so), but that doesn't mean they weren't hardworking. I believe Einstein was talented, but I also believe he was hardworking and devoted. So talent alone doesn't make anyone invincible or better. Even the average person can be a genius or have a high IQ. People who have high IQs tend to learn different, which makes them naturally apt to learning than average people. But based on Psychology, if average people learn the way geniuses do, an average person's IQ would most likely increase. I'm currently reading Moonwalking with Einstein. One key thing said in this book, the techniques used in improving memory are techniques that have come from studying those who were born doing things different. By figuring out how they do it, we can harness the power of these approaches. They had natural talent for memory. We can develop the talent through learning from them and then utilising the techniques.

As a scientist I can assure you, that the best way to understand something is to try to explain it. Just walk into your colleague's office, start explaining your problem, and often enough, you stop mid-sentence, because you just solved it. To really grasp a new technique, include it in one of your courses, preferably with a student assignment on it, and your students will pester you, until you've understood it fully.

That's a curious aspect of our intelligence. I wonder what the brain does during a verbal explanation to somebody else that it can't accomplish in solitude? I conclude that the brain receives greater stimulation from somebody's presence even if that person says nothing beyond the of simplest social platitudes when you enter the room. It would be interesting to see if this phenomena is constant across the introversion-extroversion continuum (noting that an extrovert is somebody who gains energy from their environment and so may therefore be more likely to benefit from the presence of company)?

@coreycox2345

As someone who is in the middle (neither an introvert or an extrovert, can function as either), I think that it does not even matter if there is another person. Explaining something somehow sets it. If I imagine that I will soon be giving talk on something, the adrenalin would probably kick in and assists me.. I have not done this experimentally, but it seems that it would work as well if I imagine giving a speech as if I actually were about to give one. I will try this to see if I am right about it.

@wongawonga1000

I think there are two parts to this: Firstly, the act of explaining something verbally forces the brain to organize its data into a sequential order that is communicable with others. This in turn causes it to recall related concepts whose impact upon the initial understanding had not yet been considered fully. Secondly, the ability to recall data is impacted by our energy levels. How the increase in energy is obtained is secondary to the fact of it. Speaking personally and as an introvert, the presence of other people inhibits my ability to think. On the other hand, others require a 'buzzing' environment to be able to work. John Von Neumann, the 20th century polymath and extrovert, used to play loud German march music in his office as he required an energized environment in which to work.

Back in college, my freshmen Electrical Engineering professor often reminded us about the importance of being competent, life-long learning, and "if you cannot teach what you have learned, then you do not truly understand it."

When my oldest son was just starting school, he had some problems with understanding quite a lot of stuff. he was too quick to say, "I don't get it." I got him to "teach it to the furniture," which meant that he had to learn it first. He got the idea and even imagined the furniture asking him questions. It really helped him get the idea that understanding sometimes takes a bit of work and thinking and that there was a purpose to learning. And speaking for myself (I'm a teacher) I've often had the experience of suddenly understanding something very powerfully when teaching it to others. Nice video.

Here's another super-learning technique: study a subject in another language. I am an interpreter and I once had a long contract to interpret a class on factory maintenance for a Japanese trainer in an American factory. For preparation, I received the training textbooks in Japanese and read through them all. This was advanced engineering that I didn't even know how to talk about in English, but after studying it in Japanese and interpreting it, I got a really deep understanding of the contents that is still with me a year later.

as a youngen we always did exercises like this in class. we would try to teach our desk mates and take turns. To me as a competitive kid I saw the advantage my friends had when they were able to teach the rest of us. I started to notice what allowed them to do it. Since then I was always excited to teach people in my classes or family at any level or depth, because it meant I was learning too.

I have finding it tough to self study and be able to clearly understand what I read. And so I came to watch this video. I hope this helps me. Summary: Feynman technique to learn To understand something clearly, you should be able to explain it simply. Four steps of Feynman technique: 1. Write the concept heading. 2. Explain it in simple language. Do examples to practice your concept. 3. Identify problem areas i.e. area that halted your explanation, and go back to the source material, do examples to understand it clearly. 4. Try to break down technical terms and complicated language in simple terms. This technique helps to identify: * areas where your knowledge is sound. * shaky areas.

Unknowingly, I had been using this technique in my learning and teaching for some time. It really has to do with constantly asking questions of your knowledge / learning. It’s about breaking everything down to its simplest form, so that you can see it as simply and clearly as possible. It also has to do with combining and eliminating redundancies. As you do this, you actually begin to learn things in your own way or words. You see it more clearly because you now see it inside and out, you’re not fooling yourself, you own it.

He was part of the Manhattan project as a youngster, as well as one who did the analysis of the Challenger space shuttle mishap.

I did these techniques for a long time really and even before I watch this video right now, this is just by coincidence hahaha amazing and techniques worked and still work for my study very well ! thank you Thomas for all your videos and your efforts that you put it in this channel to help us ♡

great talk ... I loved it. I've found that explaining things is indeed the best way to really consolidate your own knowledge not least because students ask you questions from angles you didn't think of and you need to answer them. Being able to explain things simply is of course the purpose of forcing a research student to phrase a simple research question (making their question clear in their mind) as well as to write an abstract (making their findings succinct). I would add that being able to formulate appropriate metaphors for a problem (any problem) to explain to a non technical person is a skill worth working on. Lastly ... I think its a bit of an understatement to say Feynman "contributed to" the development of Feynman Diagrams ... they are essentially his own work as I understood it

I dont think anybody shows the human curiosity more then Richard Feynman maybe Einstein or newton as well but seeing his interview and how happy he gets to even think of his thoughts trying to explain anything is just so childlike yet he is 60+ in that interview. Says it all. 😊

Thanks Frank for your contribution. I am using them to teach my daughters. And it is so useful to know them in one place in your channel.

This is great advice. I love the "Why" part.

I read the title. Then I watched the first minute + last minute. Then I read the comments. Video watched.

Feynman was AWESOME. He even came to my dreams and taught me Physics. 🥰😘

about the quote. A french famous dude, Nicolas Boileau-Despreau said "«Ce qui se conçoit bien s'énonce clairement» - «Et les mots pour le dire arrivent aisément.»What is well understood can be express clearly, and the words to say it easily come. He was inspired by Descartes and a intellectual movement during those years studying links between knowledge and language.

And you sir explained well on someone who shared the importance of explaining !

I used to study in this technique unknowingly and Now I am feeling proud about myself.

Feynman was a brilliant Scientist and apparently also a pretty fun guy. I came to know him through one of his books "Adventures of a Curios Character". I recommend it very highly.

You will never increase your focus until you stop scrolling down to the comments while watching a video....

I did this for Torque in 2017, I have forgotten most of the physics I learned that year but I still have a good understanding of torque.

I’ve been doing this thing of explaining stuff to myself out loud for quite a while now. Not just stuff that helped me get through school or improve on the area of “expertise”, but really any random concepts or ideas that I learn or discover throughout the day.

This technique worked well for me. I used to travel for work. Many boring hours on the road. I would sometimes have a subject I knew somewhat but not perfectly. I would explain this subject to the guy in the other seat in the van. (I drove alone). I was frequently amazed at how the concept would become clear after explaining it. How Transistors work, angle of attack of an aircraft wing etc. etc.

this is circular..you actually needed to have a good understanding imn order to simplify it and explain it..by just explaining it you dont get a better understanding, you only get to discover voids in your understanding

add more examples relating physics those will be so useful thank you in advance :)

I learned this concept when my job required writing work instructions for people with varying educational and English language skills. Nice to place a name to it.

I notice that I have been using this technique since the early days of my senior secondary education when I chose the Science Stream. I would fill my notebook with numerous hints and keywords to help me remember concepts based on how my mind functions. This was particularly important because sometimes I was the only one aware of my mind's tendency to make silly mistakes or get stuck when revisiting certain concepts.

This looks like a great method which I will try - thank you. However, your answer to the Pythagorean question is incorrect, You rightly squared the 5 and 3 to get 25 and 9. However, when you added them together you got 36. The correct answer is of course 34, which when you square root it gives 5.83 (2dp).

Back when I was in primary school I used to study what I learned and teach it to my mum and I didn’t realise I was doing it. It just came to me automatically and as a kid I never even knew it was a commonly used study technique. Watching this video made me remember how I used to do that instinctively to help me remember which is pretty cool 😂 but now because I’ve grown up I usually just study in my room and not talk to anybody so it just stopped. I should try to do that again but using Feynman technique

I find this so much. Whenever I’m helping people with their problems I find myself thinking about solutions I would have never thought about if I was trying to fix that issue myself. I also surprise myself with how much I know about a subject when I’m explaining it to someone else. It’s super weird how our brains work

Wow ! great job Thomas! Thanks for the book, waiting for the second one ! :) all support and respect from Algeria.

Thanks for the great video explaining a very useful technique. It might have been worth saying at some point, that one should always be careful not to loose anything fundamental when simplifying. There is a limit to how far you can "simplify" some concepts, and a flawed explanation would rather defeat the purpose.

I’m a teacher and this has become an essential tool for me. Thanks to this video!

❤️ been doing this for as long as I have had good grades! Didn't know it was a thing! I find hand written notes is the best way to do this... The digital comparison (I find) doesn't generally have the same depth of learning ...

15 years ago there was no you tube to teach us… but the old fashioned technique still works which is writing on the paper … it has that magical connection for us to remember and understand the concept behind it!

TF - Wow...I'm 33 years in a production facility. We train all the time. I have never heard of the Feynman Technique. After watching that 5:47 explanation, I'm pretty confident I'll be a little more effective. Thanks for taking the time. Well done.

your explain is incredibly clear,then really powerful!thanks

If you can accurately paraphrase a new concept, you really got it

We should call it “Feynman’s Terms” instead of “Layman’s Terms”

One of my favorite teachers told me once "You don't really learn/understand something until you teach it".

Everyone who studies by explaining can for sure become a teacher...

thanks for this technique, i have no words to say, it helps me so much

Thanks for this video Tim. Richard Feynman is one of my favourite scientists and I'm happy you did a video attributed to him. There's actually a great story in his book "Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman" where he talks about feeling stupid at a conference and having to use this very technique to read a scientific paper haha. I have a physics channel and plan to release a video next week about 3 inspiring stories about Richard Feynman, and will be sure to link to your video here for the people who still aren't convinced of his awesomeness :)

Sorry I spelled the name of "Richard Fyenman" as "Richard Fyenmann". N.B.: There are a few documentaries featuring Richard Fyenman sharing his knowledge and education he got from his life.And there is a facebook group featuring quotes of Richard Fyenman.Just like all the unsung/sung heroes of this world Richard Fyen man was a simple person who practiced good qualities and wanted to help people by his simple,honest and kind behaviour being cautious of making peace with his faults of his life like every other human being in the world .I have learned many things from him.Thank you Mr.Richard Fyenman:) If I want to find all the good words in the dictionary in him I know insha allah I will find those in him as any other person in the world. What makes him different is the achievement of his lifelong effort but that is also not a pride for him as like anyone who loves to make other people happy . m.facebook.com/Richard-Fyenman-760474130714117/

Great video, Thomas. Keep up the good work!

1. Write the Concept name down at the top 2:32 2. Explain the concept using simple language (Work through examples). 2:43 3. Identify problematic areas, then go back to the source to review 3:02 4. Look for complicated words or theories and try to simplify them 3:18.

Nice video, thanks! (Note: 3, 4, 5 is a pythagorean triple; 3, 5, 6 -- used in your example -- is not. 25 + 9 = 34, and √34 ≠ 6)

I can't believe I've been doing this with my course that I'm doing without even know about this technique. It truly does work since I've been making notes as if I'm explaining it to someone who has less knowledge
