"“The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.”"

"“ The science of today is the technology of tomorrow.” — Edward Teller"

"By some definitions, Learning Science is an interdisciplinary field of science that is focused on developing and improving our understanding of the methodologies and solutions that help people learn things effectively."

"Fundamentally, learning occurs in 3 steps. Namely: encoding, consolidation and retrieval."

"So, although during the first stage, encoding, where we come across new and novel information, it’s important that the information is presented in a way we can understand, the consolidation and retrieval steps of learning are where the magic happens for knowledge retention."

"“The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take it away from you.” — B.B. King"

"Assuming we understand the concepts we’re learning (big assumption, and not for this discussion), these consolidation and retrieval steps are where we want to make sure we double down of efforts to make sure things make it out of the sieve that is our short term memory."

"One of the key things that stood out to me while doing my research, and reading ‘Make it Stick’, was that the most impactful learning happens when you test the edges of your abilities and knowledge."

"There is a desirable amount of difficulty required, and experiencing this challenge is a sign you’re on the right path."

"Don’t: Mindlessly read, summarise, highlight, reread, etc."

"Don’t: Focus on learning only one thing at a time."

"Rather than practicing or studying one thing over and over, in one way, until you think you’ve got it, it’s better to vary how and what you’re practicing or learning."
