Have you ever wondered why some information sticks while some vanishes like smoke on a braai? 🤔 This diagram unveils the fascinating journey of learning 🧠 Attention is the gatekeeper 🔑. Once information grabs your focus, it moves to working memory, where it's processed and encoded. Repetition and connection are key to transferring knowledge to long-term memory. Retrieval practice and spaced repetition solidify learning. Sleep, the ultimate memory booster, consolidates information. Metacognition, motivation, and feedback guide this process. With consistent practice, you build mental models leading to deep understanding and real-world application. Breaking it down: - Attention => Focus on what matters 👀 - Encoding => Connect new information with existing knowledge 🔗 - Repetition => Practice makes perfect (and permanent) 🔁 - Retrieval => Test yourself regularly 🔍 - Consolidation => Prioritise sleep for optimal learning 😴 - Metacognition => Think about your thinking 🤔 "view knowledge as sort of a semantic tree — make sure you understand the fundamental principles, i.e. the trunk and big branches, before you get into the leaves/details or there is nothing for them to hang on to" - Elon Musk. #training #learning #neuroscience #education #memory #mindset #lifelonglearning #learningscience
