Study More Effectively
By Royane RealIf
you are studying for an exam or if you need to learn somematerial for a presentation, you may be wondering how early youshould start to study, and how often you should review the materialin order to remember it.
Is it best to study large chunks of the information at a time, orshould you try to master small bits of it? Should you review thematerial again the next day? Or is it best to let a few days go by?
Learning experts have proposed several different schedules forreviewing study materials, but the following is one that works wellfor most people. Try it to see if it works for you, or whether it ismore effective to introduce minor changes to the review schedule.
First, study what you can thoroughly learn in a 40-minuteperiod. During this time keep your mind actively engaged in thematerial by making notes, asking yourself questions about it,speaking out loud, and making learning maps. Then take a five or tenminute break to do sometfiing completely different, preferablysomething which includes physical exercise and deep breathing.
After your ten-minute break, go back and review your originalmaterial and your written notes. Review for about five minutes. Thenext day review the material again for five minutes. A week laterreview it for five minutes. A month later review it for five minutes.
If you need to remember the information longer, review it forfive minutes after two months, and then again after six months.
Your review will be even more successful if you speak yourthoughts out loud. You can say a verbal summary out loud toyourself, or you can speak the summary to someone else.
Each time you repeat the same physical action, or review thesame study material, there are chemical changes that take place atthe synapses between your brain cells, making it easier for the signalto go through the next time you repeat that thought or action. That iswhy review and repetition help fix acquired skills and knowledge inyour brain.
Saying the material out loud, or writing out a few notes againwill involve more of your brain cells in the process of remembering.
People who have sustained some brain damage due toadvancing age, brain injury, or because of alcohol or drug use mayno longer have the ability to easily refresh their knowledge byquickly reviewing material again. These people may have to spendmuch more time and effort on reviewing material, and still have alower rate of recall.
For the majority of people, however, the above schedule is a time-effective way to keep information easily available to your memory.
