Chapter Seven
Adopting Lifelong
Learning

Focus Questions
◦ How does the human brain learn?
*Neurons send out electrical signals. If signals are
strong enough and repeated enough then
memories are created.
◦ How can you use this knowledge to become a
highly effective learner?
◦ Summer amnesia, Spring break amnesia, day-to-
day amnesia?


 Have you ever learned something simply
because you liked it?
 What do we do differently when learning
things that we are interested in vs. things that
we are not interested in?


1. Prior Learning

2. Quality of Processing

3. Quantity of Processing


 Have you ever learned something for the first
time that was difficult?
 Did you ever re-visit that thing only to find
that it was easier the second time?


 Ideas for deep processing:
 Skim a chapter, make questions
 Create a concept map
 Discuss with classmate
 Participate, controlling your thoughts
 Make a test
 Teach someone


 Time taken to learn

 Distributed over time

 Long study sessions often don’t work.


Focus Questions
◦ What is your preferred way of learning?
◦ What can you do when your instructor doesn’t
teach the way you prefer to learn?


A) Thinking Learners
B) Doing Learners
C) Feeling Learners
D) Innovating Learners


 Learn well from instructors.
 Do well with power points, textbook reading,
logical skills, debates.
 Uncomfortable with answers based on,
tradition, emotion, logic and intuition.
 Do well with analyzing dissecting and using
logic.
 Good notes, make questions, ask instructor.


 Want to know ‘how’ things work.
 Think logically, need models/examples.
 Hands-on, labs.
 Uncomfortable with theories, emotion,
personal opinions or intuition.
 Unbiased, take action, follow procedures.
 Come up with q’s and find answers.


 Want to know: why they need to know? And
who is going to teach it? Or who else is in the
class?
 Like personal connections, value feeling,
group work, sharing experiences.
 Uncomfortable with facts and data, prefer
feeling and opinions.


 What if …? What else…?
 Concerned with taking something and
making it better, new possibilities.
 Like independent projects, flexibility in rules
and assignments, optional assignments.
 Honor imagination and intuition,
uncomfortable with abstract theories and
cold hard facts/data.


 While memorizing:
 Organize the information in a meaningful
way.(9-8-4-1)=(1984)
 Game 1
 Game 2


 Associations. (Pavlov
= slobbering dogs)
 Third-eye-blind:


 Visualization
 Concrete Words
 alligator - apple - arrow - baby - bird - book
- butterfly -
 Abstract Words
 anger - belief - boredom - chance - concept
- effort
 Nonsense Words
 ator - botam - crov - difim - firap - glimoc -


 Chaining:


 Loci. (association w/places)
 Devised during the Roman Empire, the
method of loci uses the chaining method
with a twist. Now all the items to-be-
remembered are linked to specific places
in the order you would visit them. For
example, you might think of the route you Things to remember:
take to school:
 Your room
 Your kitchen  alligator
Front door of your house

 Bus stop
 apple
 Bus seat  arrow
 Friend's house that you see from the bus  baby
Gas Station that you see from the bus
bird

 Market that you see from the bus 
 School  book
 car


 Acronyms. (AOL, NPR, USA, SVU, OICU812)
 Sentence acronym. (Four qualities of effective
visualizing: Relax, use Present tense verbs,
use all 5 Senses, include Feelings. = Real
People Seek Freedom)
 Assign a number. (4 E’s)
 Visualize (bones of a hand)
 Concept map.
 Recite


 Create and listen to audio recordings.
 Use several senses while learning.


 Subject: Spanish
 AR verbs
 Endings: -o,-as,-a,-amos,-an
 Subjects: I, you (f), you/he/she, we, they
 (I) Hablar=
 Hablo
 (She) Hablar=
 Habla


 How can you memorize that information
quickly?
 In groups discuss and memorize the
information.
