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.
压缩信息——系统性学习法并不是全能的。其中一个例子就是我在医学院一年级时学习解剖学,解剖学中涉及到数百个与器官相关的拉丁名词,这些名词并没有明确的派生关系和构词方法,而仅仅是一系列的毫不相干的词。当你遇到类似问题的时候,你应该采用压缩的方法,找出一种方法把他们分类成一些小组,然后通过图片或者联想的方式辅助记忆。
