How We Learn
Interview
with Marcia Conner author of Learn
More Now
|
Mike
Carruthers:
Have
you ever given any thought to how it is you learn, how you take
in information?
Marcia Conner:
Like if you're a visual or auditory, or kinesthetic
learner, in other words if you learn best by seeing something,
by hearing something or touching and feeling it.
Marcia Conner,
author of the book Learn
More Now, says once you know how it is you learn best, you
can make changes to learn things better.
For example,
if someone is explaining something to you verbally, and it's
just not clicking - you're not being able to see it, for example.
It might be helpful to just ask the person delivering that information
to draw a simple picture for you.
When you were
in school you probably did most of your studying at night, but
...
There is some
wonderful brain research that shows that the peak taking in
hours are in the morning for most everyone.
We also learned
in school that the best way to learn is to sit still and pay
attention.
But new research
is indicating that there are thinking cells throughout our entire
bodies, and if we don't move around we may not have access to
the full potential we have to learn. Think of riding a bike
- once you learn how to ride a bicycle you're able to ride a
bicycle for pretty much the rest of your life. In large part,
that's because the way that you remember that is in your muscles,
and in the cells that exist in other parts of your body, than
just in your head. And we can apply that same rule to most everything
we are doing.
