Increased learning

[Juventus]

People learn all the time. If you were to learn something new you would hope to absorb it. The best way to learn is to focus around a central word for the sentence, like cue cards for a speach with key words.

You take your sentence and divide it into key words with syllabells. If you were to focus on, for instance, a content subject, then you could take the following example;

The heart is an organ that pumps blood through the body via blood vessels and applied pressure. It provides a pulse for the nervous system too.

Now you take your passage and shorten it into key words, like a summary. You could say [heart] + [pulse] = [circulation], for example, and call this the HPC. If you learn a formula and what the initials stand for you can cram a lot more in. It is also a good way to keep your mind focused as it will need to be 'creative' to remain 'awake', so play with things like that in your study time, I learned foregien languages by makin it a sentence based on syllabals about names of people and what they do in a situation.

I would suppose for content subjects you would need to learn them by doing this creative work in class. The education department, or individual teachers, could make these formulas up, really long ones in fact, and teach learners that miosis is FHXJBMGD or something, for example. It is lik that mathematical thing called BODMAS which everyone can remember. Think of this a compressed message for ease of learning and practical application.

And we could learn definitions this way too. Take a chapter from your text books and summarise them into one made up word with important initials. It is not a long shot and is guaranteed to work.

Wow...

You've invented mnemonics...:roll:

And it is NOT guaranteed to work. Honestly, the way that you have presented it it is almost guaranteed to fail.

Let's look at your example:

"The heart is an organ that pumps blood through the body via blood vessels and applied pressure. It provides a pulse for the nervous system too.

Now you take your passage and shorten it into key words, like a summary. You could say [heart] + [pulse] = [circulation], for example, and call this the HPC."

For one thing, it is wrong. The pulse is caused by the increased pressure in the arteries when the blood surges through them due to the contraction of the heart (and, there is also a corresponding minor contraction in the arteries themselves).

Ignoring that, you are pulling terms from different sentences and cramming them together. You are leaving out significant amounts of information from those sentences.

So, despite those two sentences being simplified to the point of uselessness, you still didn't manage to encompass all of the knowledge of those two sentences.

Shortcuts and gimmicks are how to pass tests, not how to learn.
