Sure, everyone learns things differently, but there must be some fundemental force that drives the "click" causing a certain concept to be retained permanantly.
Im sure we've all experienced, the feeling with a certain concept that just sticks better than the others. "Oh, yeah im pretty good at ____________, didn't really need to study/revise" we tell our friends before exams.
But what causes this? Why is it that writting down notes on some paper will help us remember? (Isn't this what we should have been doing in class when it was taught?) and if writting notes does help us remember, why are we re-writting them again just before exams?
It seems like we're taking an incredibly in-efficient, route memorisation by recitation-in-disguise method to retain information, and even then for only a short time, (making at least some degree of cramming the only way to go).
Post in this thread your experimental learning methods, theories, and general advice on how to learn something once, and permantly. GO.
