4 Secrets to Learning Anything, According to Neuroscience*
The NeuroLeadership Institute (NLI) has recently been exploring how to make ideas stick. Through their research, they created a model outlining four key conditions for effective learning: Attention, Generation, Emotion and Spacing (AGES).
Here's a quick overview of the AGES model:
- Attention: When you learn, maintain a single focus having complete and undivided attention.
- Generation: Listening isn't enough. Heighten the likelihood of memory retention by doing something with the information you're learning. Create a situation that will make this information meaningful.
- Emotion: Strong emotions lead to strong memories. Look for ways to build an emotional connection to what you're learning.
- Spacing: In order to grow memory, you need a break in between learning.
Why is the AGES model so important at this time?With the world of work changing so quickly, we all need to learn how to learn. We need to be expert learners. These four principles, distilled from many years of research and hundreds of studies, are powerful ways to consciously recall what you want to consciously recall.
