How to Get the Most Out of Studying: Part 3 of 5, "Cognitive Principles for Optimizing Learning"

🎥 This video is the third in a series of five videos on how to study effectively in college, presented by Dr. Stephen Chew, a professor of psychology at Samford University. 🧠 Effective studying goes beyond just motivation and effort - students need to use effective learning strategies. Shallow strategies like memorization don't lead to deep learning, while deep processing strategies focused on meaning, comprehension, and visual imagery result in better learning. 🔑 The key principles of deep processing are: 1. Elaboration - Making meaningful associations between the concepts you're studying and your prior knowledge. 2. Distinctiveness - Clearly contrasting the concept you're studying with other related concepts to understand the key differences. 3. Appropriate retrieval and application - Practicing recalling and using the information in the way your teacher expects, not just rereading. 📚 Other important concepts are: - Automaticity - Developing study skills that become automatic through practice, overcoming old habits. - Overlearning - Studying material repeatedly until you can recall it quickly and easily, to prevent forgetting. 🔮 In the next video, these principles will be applied to specific study strategies like note-taking and textbook reading. Overall, the video emphasizes that effective studying requires using deep processing techniques, not just time and effort. Developing the right study habits takes conscious practice over time, but pays off in better learning.
