This presentation adds to the posts I have done on the book, How We Learn. It repeats the thought that we learn best when we have breaks. Indeed the technique Barbara Oakley mentions is 25 minutes of focused attention (no texting, looking at unrelated Internet pages) and then taking a break of a few minutes. This, she says will increase learning retention. As for tests, she suggest studying many times with flash cards, multiple techniques, etc. As she points out, would you sing a song once and think you learned it - of course not. As for underlining parts of a book, she says the most innovative to learn from a book is to read, then look away and see what you can remember. Also, assume just reading will help you learn. Mastery comes from repetition and interacting with what ever you are learning.
