D A ILY INNOVATION BRIEF By Journalists Edward Kane & Marya nne Kane HOW TO GET SMARTER FASTER - NEW NEUROSCIENCE Source: Stock New neuroscience research demonstrates specific steps you can take to learn new subjects, skills and tasks more quickly and retain more. Here are some tips from neuroscientists: Learn several new subjects simultaneously. Neuroscientists call this interleaving. Instead of focusing on one subject, task or skill during a study session, they suggest focusing on several related subjects in succession. They say the variety keeps your mind more engaged, active and enables you to learn more quickly. Frequently vary the way you study. According to experts at Johns Hopkins University, constant repetition is not as effective as varying and modifying the subject or skill you're trying to learn. Rehearse your new knowledge out loud. Experts say that's a big re-enforcer.
