Choosing the IT industry is choosing a challenging career. Knowledge is updated very fast, and we need to keep learning and enriching ourselves. So how can we learn more effectively in a limited time?
First, let's take a look at the forgetting curve of the German psychologist Ebbinghaus:
Ebbinghaus has proved through experimental research that the forgetting speed is very fast in the initial stage after memorization, but as time goes on, the forgetting speed becomes slower and slower, and even after a day or two, the change in the amount of preservation is not large. That is: the process of forgetting is first fast and then slow, and we should get inspiration from the law of forgetting process. In order to obtain a good memory effect, we should review it in time.
So whether you learn new knowledge through video, face-to-face teaching, or self-learned new knowledge, you must remember to do a consolidation review within 24 hours, and do a few more sessions in the future according to your actual situation or habits. Review the next stage, so that your learning will be multiplied with half the effort. Of course, if you can review the learning content 7 times, you will not forget it, and the knowledge will always be yours.
Second: pay attention to learning methods, focus and plan your learning, and study with questions. When reviewing, it is recommended to outline what you have learned with a mental map to facilitate understanding and memory.
In addition, from a psychological point of view, the forms of human speech activities are divided into two categories, namely external speech and internal speech.
External speech refers to conversational speech, monologue speech, and written speech.
Internal speech refers to the silent speech that is not used for communication, but to support thinking activities.
When we study, most people use internal language. In fact, this way of thinking will make the problem not detailed, complete and systematic, and often miss some details when thinking. In fact, if there is a chance, it is recommended to use external language to learn, no matter Conversational speech, monologue speech or written speech, will make you clearer about what you are learning, reduce the number of revisions, and also allow you to preserve long-lasting memories.
