Every day, our brains are bombarded by a barrage of notifications and an onslaught of information and new content to explore and learn Yet we're also subjected to a myriad of variables that distract us.
Key data on the use of mobile devices, the internet and social media provide some food for thought: having access to such vast amounts of different tools and information can lead to a strong feeling of cognitive disorientation.
There’s a reason for all of this.
What we call the attention curve is the short frame of time when our minds are physiologically able to concentrate on a certain topic and so are primed and ready for successful learning.
Attention sky rockets and peaks in about 7 minutes, and then begins to decrease.
Various cognitive psychology theories agree on one thing: if the cognitive load (i.e. the amount of information that our memory has to process within a certain period of time) is too high, it may use up the cognitive resources required to learn and become gridlocked.
In light of these studies and theories, this easybook provides some tips to help you learn in the best way possible, stress-free and enthusiastically.
With this book you’ll learn:
• The inbuilt mechanisms of your brain that influence learning
• How to manage cognitive load using two key tools: content segmentation and pacing
• The 7Minutes solution, the cornerstones when it comes to accessible, micro and mobile online training.
