3-2-1 TUESDAYS WITH MS NIV

Issue #98, 24th May 2022

Do you understand and then memorize content? Do you repeat to memorize? Do you visualize and memorize? Do you think memorizing is needed in today’s day and age? short term memory, long-term memory, memories of a lifetime, habit of memorization… what do you think of it as a teacher? as a parent? as a student?

Check out today’s issue and let me know what you think of memory and memorization.

Two Thoughts of the Week

”One of the best ways to make yourself happy in the present is to recall happy times from the past. Photos are a great memory-prompt, and because we tend to take photos of happy occasions, they weight our memories to the good.” Gretchen Rubin

“No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar.” Abraham Lincoln.

As a teenager, Ricardo Lieuw On was packing groceries when he knew what he wanted to study: he wanted to learn about learning. He picked up a study in psychology and learned how to reduce his learning time from 3 hours to 1 hour on the same piece of content. He gained the same knowledge in 200% less time.
