Compress Information – Not all information works well for holistic learning. A common point cited to me is learning anatomy for first year medical students. Anatomy involves learning arbitrary Latin names for hundreds of different elements of your body. There often aren’t clear patterns and constructs, just a dry list of facts. When encountering information such as this, your goal should be to compress it. Find ways to group information into smaller chunks of memory through pictures or mnemonics.
壓縮信息——系統性學習法并不是全能的。其中一個例子就是我在醫學院一年級時學習解剖學,解剖學中涉及到數百個與器官相關的拉丁名詞,這些名詞并沒有明確的派生關系和構詞方法,而僅僅是一系列的毫不相干的詞。當你遇到類似問題的時候,你應該采用壓縮的方法,找出一種方法把他們分類成一些小組,然后通過圖片或者聯想的方式輔助記憶。
