How to learn

This course takes you on a journey through the brain, incorporating insights from neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and hard-to-learn subjects like Math and Science to present a variety of learning techniques for you to try right away.

No matter what stage you are at in trying to learn a subject or figure something out, if you change the way you think and approach it, you can change your learning capacity forever. In this course we illustrate what learning is and how the brain assimilates information. Armed with this knowledge, we open up a whole new variety of learning possibilities.

As we guide you through how memory works, you will see the difference between effective structured learning and ineffective 'cramming'. Importantly, we demonstrate how lifestyle factors such as sleep, exercise and your emotional state can have such a profound effect on your mental capacity that you can struggle to perform even basic functions.

This course provides a wealth of knowledge about the unique human learning and memory system, as well as a plethora of tried and tested techniques to get you chunking, learning, assimilating, processing and remembering information for many years. We close the course with some excellent tips from experts around the world that will help you learn for life, or for test-taking.

The world is evolving, and knowing how to learn effectively, regardless of subject area, is one of the most powerful skills you can have.
