8. 1 BRAIN
9. How does our BRAIN LEARN? ATTENTION - We don't pay attention to boring things. WIRING - Every brain is wired differently. GENDER - Male and female brains are different. MEMORY - Repeat to remember. Remember to repeat. SENSORY INTEGRATION - Stimulate more of the senses. VISION - Vision trumps all other senses. STRESS - Stressed brains don't learn the same way. SLEEP - Sleep well, think well. EXERCISE - Exercise boosts brain power. MUSIC - Study or listen to boost cognition. EXPLORATION - We are powerful and natural explorers. Summary: http://sivers.org/book/BrainRules Dr. John Medina http://www.brainrules.net/about-brain-rules
10. Research shows us that each learning style uses different parts of the brain. By involving more of the brain during learning, we remember more of what we learn.

41. Mnemonics - Acronyms Med Mnemonics SODA: http://apotential.wordpress.com/medical-mnemonics/Medical Mnemonics: http://www.medicalmnemonics.com/ Mnemonics are learning memory techniques that help learners recall larger pieces of information, especially in the form of lists like characteristics, steps, stages, parts, phases, etc.

43. Mnemonics - Peg Systems Source: http://www.memory-improvement-tips.com/remembering-lists.html A Peg system (Mnemonic) is a technique for memorizing lists, or information that must be recalled in a particular order. They work by associating information you already know well with the new facts you want to remember. A "peg" is just a mental hook on which you hang the information. This hook acts as a reminder to help you mentally retrieve information. NUMBER-RHYME NUMBER-SHAPE ALPHABET 1. One-Sun 2. Two-Shoe 3. Three-Tree 4. Four-Door 5. Five-Hive 6. Six-Sticks 7.

44. The Method of Loci (Memory Palace/Journey Method) is a method of memorizing information by placing each item to be remembered at a point along an imaginary journey. The information can then be recalled in a specific order by retracing the same route through the imaginary journey.

Primacy & Recency Effect Diagram source: http://wps.prenhall.com/hss_wade_psychology_7_mru/21/5605/1435121.cw/-/1435123/index.html When asked to recall a list of items in any order (free recall), people tend to begin recall with the end of the list, recalling those items best (the recency effect). Among earlier list items, the first few items are recalled more frequently than the middle items (the primacy effect).

71. SPEED READING TIPS you must NEVER FORGET!
72. Focus on Speed First!1 Your comprehension level will improve as you PRACTICE! Focus on increasing your reading speed first. Don’t worry if your comprehension level becomes lower, as you speed read at this stage. The comprehension level will improve as you practice.
73. Use a Guide!2 PenFinger(s) Paper Regression and the duration of fixations can be minimized by using a guide. Keep your eye fixation above the tip of the guide used (dot on a paper). The guide should be used to maintain or increase the reading speed.
74. Minimize Regression!3 To improve reading speed you must resist regression. When you force yourself to NOT jump back, you will increasingly become more focused. Whatever important that you missed or don’t understand early on is usually repeated again or understood later. So, don’t worry! Image (Reading speeds): http://www.noahlaith.com/7-benefits-speed-reading/ Reducing regression tips: http://bit.ly/1qbyHPD
75. Increase Vision Span!4 Increase your vision span by processing more words in an eye fixation. Start with 2 words, and then increase as you practice (5 words, one line, one paragraph, etc.). Also, reduce the time for each fixation point as you practice (1 to 0.5 to 0.25 seconds). Image (Reading speeds): http://www.noahlaith.com/7-benefits-speed-reading/
76. Smart Eye Movement!5 http://fourhourworkweek.com/2009/07/30/speed-reading-and-accelerated-learning/ Start speed reading with 1 word in from the first and last word of each line, and end 1 word in from the last word. Then try 2,3, 4 words, etc. As your peripheral vision improves, you will accelerate your reading speed significantly by smartly reducing the time for eye movement.
77. Stop/Reduce/Distract…6 Stop reading aloud and reduce internal speech, as it usually limits your reading speed to 150 – 250 WPM. You can distract your internal speech by repeating a particular phrase, word or number(s). Example: Saying ‘1,2,1,2’ while speed reading to distract the internal voice.
