Understanding how learning and adaptation work
Topics
How does learning happen?
Learning happens through acquiring new information, forming neural connections, practicing skills, receiving feedback, and consolidating knowledge into long-term memory through repetition and application.

Learning works through attention, encoding information into memory, making connections with existing knowledge, practice and repetition, feedback, and consolidation through sleep and rest.
Read more →How does practice improve skills?
Practice improves skills through repetition strengthening neural pathways, feedback correcting errors, progressive difficulty challenging abilities, and deliberate practice focusing on specific weaknesses.
Read more →How to learn effectively?
To learn effectively, use active recall, spaced repetition, interleaving different topics, take breaks, teach others, and connect new information to existing knowledge.
Read more →How to learn faster?
To learn faster, use active learning techniques, spaced repetition, focus on understanding over memorization, eliminate distractions, get feedback, practice retrieval, and maintain good sleep and health.
Read more →What is the best way to study?
The best way to study combines active learning techniques like self-testing, spaced practice, elaborative interrogation, and distributed practice rather than passive re-reading or cramming.
