​@@twinkleverma2102 Quizás en español. Te explico lo que entendí. La ponente describe los 2 modos de pensamiento del cerebro: Enfocado y Difuso. El enfocado trabaja muy bien ideas que ya se conoce y las puede relacionar rápidamente con temas similares, pero cuando conocimientos nuevos y distintos entran al cerebro, le costará entenderlos. El modo difuso esta mas abierto a adquirir estos conocimientos nuevos y diferentes. Según explica, esto sucede porque no se esta pensando en el tema directamente. Ahí pone los casos con el pinto Dali y el inventor Edison, que cuando se encontraban con un problema y se bloqueaban. Se ponían a descansar y luego volvían a su trabajo con mayor claridad en ideas. Lo otro que dice es que para hacer efectivo el descanso y no caer en la procrastinación, se debe usar la técnica Pomodoro, donde se dedica 25 minutos a una concentración extrema y 5 minutos para relajarse o divertirse. Lo otro que dice es que el Ejercicio ayuda al aprendizaje y la memoria. También dice que tomar Pruebas rápidas y repetidas de conocimiento ayuda a retener lo aprendido. Además dice que es más efectivo que luego de leer se practique el Recuerdo de lo aprendido, en lugar de volverlo a leer o resaltar el texto. Y por último dice que el tener un amplio entendimiento no significa la maestría en el tema. La maestría lo hace la aplicación practica y repetida del tema entendido en diversas circunstancias. Saludos :D

Twinkle Verma bottom line: learn material in 25 minute blocks with no interruptions or distractions and then rest for 5 Take notes as you listen to lectures. At the bottom of each page, and in the margins, write a question that is relevant to the material. That night, review your notes by attempting to answer the questions that you wrote in the margins and at the bottom of the page. Get plenty of sleep. The next morning, wake up early, see what you remember and write down your diffuse impressions. Perhaps you will make some novel connections to the ideas. Take your time and go back to the questions you wrote. Can you answer them? Good. Then see if you can reword the questions or ask them in a different way. Can you answer the new questions? If so, great. If not, review. Then, teach the material to a friend. Repeat these steps until you cover all of the material.

Thanks for summing it up.

Summary: If you find yourself, as you're focusing on something trying to learn a new concept or solve a problem, and you get stuck, you want to turn your attention away from that problem and allow the diffuse modes. Those resting states, to do their work in the background. **Procrastination => Pomodoro method** - 25min of work (with mindset *I'm going to work with focus attention for 25 minutes*) - 5min of some fun - Relaxation is also an important part of the learning process === - Exercise within a matter of a few days can increase our ability to both learn and to remember. - Test. Tests are the best. Test yourself all the time. Give yourself little mini-tests. - Recall. The most effective technique is simply to look at a page, look away and see what you can recall. Doing this, as it seems, helps build profound neural hooks that help enhance your understanding of the material. The understanding alone is enough to build mastery of the material. - Practice and repetition in a variety of circumstances can you truly gain mastery over what you're learning.

I graduated top of my class and all of these techniques are the same techniques I used. I would redo homework until I could do them twice correctly then repeat with all homework. My tests would contain the same questions from the homework. Tests become easy this way. Having classmates ask you to explain concepts made me just recall and force me to practice more. I have never met a genius. The barrier to actually learning is entirely emotional (you don't think you can do it, you don't see the benefit now, other things are more important). Everyone can do this. The only things I don't learn are the ones I don't want to put the effort. The talk was very insightful. I'd like to see one for how to motivate yourself to want to learn something that you don't want to learn.

Pomodoro technique has helped me deal with my ADHD. I started with 25 minutes at a time with work assignments and studying. Now I focus 1 hour at a time. My attention span grew within 2 weeks. I kept my self consistent every day and with dedication, I was able to improve my attention span. I did add 10 minutes every couple of days which is how I was able to keep focus for an hour. My advice is to keep persistence, discipline, and gradually add time to your task.

To sum up: focused learning (pomodoro technique), exeecise, tests, replace highlighting with read-look away- recall learning. FOR ME MAYBE MOST IMPORTANT : RE-DO HOMEWORK OVER AND OVER UNTIL THE ANSWER COMES NATURALLY TO YOU.

Another good way when it comes to book learning is to try to build on to what it's saying. Say you're studying history, read the page and then think about connections to other things you can make. I like to write little notes on the side like, this reminds me of this. Then connect it to other parts of you're reading. In the end, I type mini-essays to recall all of the information.

Watching this makes me feel awful. I view myself as a chronic quitter. I've quit 3 different schools (post high school). The reason for doing this in the end has always been emotional. The act of studying and focusing my attention on exercises intently over time gives me extreme anxiety and also drains me so much. I've tried the pomodoro technique several times, even being able to have "good sessions" multiple days in a row but finally giving in to the deathly anxiety of feeling that what I'm doing isn't worth it and that I'm burning myself out. I'm 24 and haven't ever found a way of learning anything by choice that didn't automatically stick in my brain. I just feel so worthless and handicapped when i think about it. I truly am in awe of people who can learn by choice, and who don't get depressed by the process.

When I was in college, I would do the Pomodoro effect...I had no idea...I would study for 20 to 30 minutes and then eat 10 or 12 Chinese noodles. I am not sure why that seemed to be such a treat, but perhaps it was just a way to take a break. I would enjoy EACH one and this was a shared event with my roommate, by the way. I have always been introspective about the process, fortunately. Now I work in the Art of Learning as applied to K-12 public education. BRAVO to you and thank you for your introspection, shared.

Hey Ro! That's awesome. How's it going? Need a hand?

For me, Pomodoro never worked as a solution for procrastination, time blockers on certain websites, hiding headphones, etc. GAMECHANGER was making these experiences less pleasurable for example I installed plugins that remove recommended videos, comment sections (I have turned it off to write this comment ;) ), trending videos on youtube, deleted all spamming friends on Fb, unfollowed people on Instagram that post only pictures of themselves. For me, these strategies helped with life-long addiction so I hope this might help you. At first, you miss it but after a month, or two. You will be happy that you have done that AND you will never look back!

Wow! Tailor made for me. Right between the eyes! 52 years old and struggle with learning. Loved Physics and Chemistry in high school, programming for as long as I was in college... but nearly failed at all 3. Late in life, but this was a list of simple, encouraging techniques. Thank you!

Thanks a lot, my name is Thabo I live in South Africa. And this video has showed me that in life you can change the way you do things. After my high school I completed a National Diploma in IT, and while my friends after graduation they went to work place and I went back to high school improve my grade 12 marks so that I can enroll to a university. and fortunately my marks did improve very well and currently I am studying Bachelors Degree in Education majoring with computer science, English and Geography at the top 5 university in AFRICA! which is University of South Africa. If I have not changed the way I do things, I wouldn't be where I am. Thanks a lot.

1-Difference between Focused mode and Diffused mode and how you can use diffused mode to learn new things. 2-Pomodoro Technique 3-A method to kill procrastination by above technique 4-Learning effectively by doing homework over and over again until it flows like song in your mind. 5-Difference between recognition and recalling study text and why recalling is better than earlier.

I took Barbara Oakley's class "Learning how to learn" and several years later it brought a smile to my face to the palmadaro timer [tomato in Italian] and 25 minutes! 😅

I'm on this "How to Learn" marathon, watching videos after videos and they're all saying the same thing she's saying. 1. You have to be excited about what you're learning. If it's a topic you hate, find a way to be excited about it. 2. Focused learning for 25 minute, reward yourself with fun for 5min. Repeat. The more you do this, the longer you can remain focused before automatically zoning out. 3. Recall - Test what you know. Do you know the material well enough to actually teach it? Practice teaching someone else what you learned. Apply the information, don't just learn it, use it.

1. Try to focus, not try to complete the task 2. Learn how to relax in addition to how to focus 3. Try to remember thing by looking around to find the hook 4. Try to test the information in various circumstances. Don't do it alone 5. Turn the lesson into test, exam

For those who wish to learn how to learn effectively, I would recommend the book 'Make it Stick' by Peter c brown. It's a wonderful book about learning. It incorporates evidence based research and scientifically proven ways to learn effectively.

People like this are a blessing to humanity

As someone who heard this story the first time from Barbara on Coursera 5 6 years ago, I still find it amazing the 2nd time I hear it 😂 she's like a living proof to me that someone actually successfully done it, being an expert of something that they used to run away from because they either hate or are bad at it. "An expert" may not even be enough to cut it here. I mean, she became a professor, someone who research and grab concepts academically. That's much harder comparing to just being able to master the skills after years of practicing, in my opinion

That's so great. I've started working with the pomodoro technique several days ago and I can feel a difference. The "pain " caused by procrastination has reduced.

whenever i re-watch this video , I re-focus on what is the key concepts in effective learning that I've forgot find some enlightenment. This advice from Barbara is timeless.

amazing... reallly needed this at this time of my life. Nothing could ever work better than this for sure. Thanks Barbara.

I changed careers, now 2 years in I'm stuck. I feel like I'm in over my head. 17 minutes later and I feel like I have a chance at learning this stuff, which rewrites that I learn how to learn - for me! This was a godsend!

I'm learning for my final law exam for 8 month now and I still have to go for at least 10 more month.. I used this method without knowing that it is a "method".. When I was stuck at a Subjekt I started walking around in the library thinking about anything but law.. just because I was fed up.. when I got back to my desk the problem was much clearer and easier than before.. So now I always focus for 30-45 min and then go for a walk around the library.. it really works..

I always go back to her talks. These are just so helpful to be reminded and discover for oneself his or her personal roadblocks in learning and essentially in how to focus. I recommend a regular watch of her videos as we are inundated with information but not really taking anything. The slow learner strikes me as one who would dwell on the material and carefully see the subtle differences and is not worried about chasing new information. The recalling part is usually not even something we think is necessary as we have become new information-devouring machines. It seems to me that in real-life situations it is the "slow and recall method" that works hand in hand to get something to stick whether it is learning and mastery and expanding its application or even changing a habit. Thanks Mrs. Barbara!

As a skilled procrastinator and a graduate student, I confirm that her methods and suggestions are very reliable and practical. And the course of Coursera with the same name is a treasure -- I read a lot of materials about procrastination and learning, so I have a collection of methods of my own, but the content of the course is weirdly coincident with my methods (of course, more informative and in a better organization).

@@lucias1276 Google "How to learn about learning" and you will see that website. And about the OP, yes, it is strangely similar to methods I used but a bit more informative.

Her voice really calms my mind!

15:40 "When you do a homework problem, never just work it once and put it away. Would you ever sing a song once and think you knew the song? (...) Work that problem several times over several days until the solution flows from your mind, like a song." Beautiful analogy, that I personally really needed to hear. Not only on how to actually learn something, but NOT TO PROCRASTINATE!

A really interesting talk. I like to learn new stuff (even at the age of 58) but am such a procrastinator. I am also a teacher so its great to have some ideas to pass onto my students to help them with their learning, as well as to inspire me in my teaching. Anyway, I'm going to get off KZread now and go for a spin on my bike. After that I'll do 25 minutes of Italian language study followed by a nice cup of coffee! Thanks to TEDx for another brilliant video.

This is a profound addition. Thank you, Barbara, for such an amazing talk and boosting the self-esteem of myself and all our brothers. You are so sweet and also sounds like that yellow little bird from Tom and Jerry.

Some people can teach you tons of interesting things and how to apply them in different fields...and definitely she is one of those people!An accurate explanation of what means learning to learn!Very very exciting

Thank You Professor! I can see that you absolutely LOVE what you do! That's the kind of teachers that should be teaching! Much respect!

very good method and explanation of the concepts behind why certain learning methods are better than others. Great job Barbara Oakley!!

It seems like she solved my every problem now I am feeling very confident

Oh my gosh, it took back me back to the good old college days. How I missed them

Awesome, Every WORD she said counts, I finished watching and jumped to start again,😊God bless you!

Three things to take away from this video: 4:20 - Two modes of thinking: Focused, and Diffused. 9:45 - The Pomodoro technique (A solution to procrastination). 12:20 - Illusions of competence in learning and the power of recall.

At 15:08 , the exercise she is mentioning, is it physical or mental ?..she follows the sentence talking about taking tests regularly ..i got confused...please clarify ...🤔

you and your book are a revolution.thank you.

Really one of the best TED talks I have seen.

You are totally talking about my life! Thank you!

We at NSTEM are constantly encouraging girls and boys, men and women to study STEM fields. Many struggle to learn and study correctly. Knowing about the two learning modes- focus and diffuse modes- is important and vital. Your idea of focusing for 25 minutes and then doing something relaxing and fun is wonderful and should be used when learning and teaching.

One of the most insightful videos ever

Currently on a language learning journey (Japanese), and trying to keep on track with studying new words, vocabulary, phrases etc. everyday. This video gave me some good insights on studying and focusing in class. I wish I could like it multiple times.

1:36 wow look at the passion of the way she says that

I understood almost everything what she said 😊.

Lol!!! Me too.

brilliant. learning "how to learn," that's what I am looking for. but as Barbara emphasized practice and exercise is important as well.

really enjoyed this one. took alot of different ideas I have heard over the years and put them into one place. excellent. thanks!

one of the best videos i've seen on youtube in a while! absolutely wonderful

As a student slow learner,writing my bsc is hard,a lot of stuff is going on and the ideas are pooping like rain drops.But it also have advantages.The subject i have interest in put me in a state of deep focus where i can decompose the subject in an infinite mode.Mastering is hard for a slow learner,but i will put in the time. Thank you for your lecture and i hope all of you get it as i do. Best of luck!

Outstanding, Barbara. You have got to be one of the most balanced intellectuals I've ever seen. You are truly a master.

I’m so glad I found this

Simply brilliant!!! I need to meet this woman in my lifetime.

Best video on this subject by far! TEDx has alot of videos covering this issue, but this is the best one. Those others have some random new-age quasi-intellectual philosophical mumbo-jumbo. What she says is really scientific and practical. BRAVO!!

I just completed her course and is such a life-changing experience. Her teachings are clear, 100% science-based, and fun--pure value. I highly recommend it to everyone, regardless of age and position. However, it's especially useful for students.

This talk saved my life, never heard a more complex analyzation of how to overcome procrastination and exactly what it is.

What an inspiration. I took the coursera course last year but will take it again to re-focus my study methods.

The comments about highlighting vs looking away from the page may have been, oddly, the most profound tip for students and studying. Annotation vs remembering has a foothold that is not helping students stretch their own minds for memory.

You are such an inspiration to me, thank you, I'm very grateful. :)
