When you sleep, most of the consolidation process occurs.In contrast, sleep deprivation can affect your ability to commit new data to memory and consolidate any short-term memories.

Sleep more, learn more

Interleaving - studying related concepts or skills in parallel - improves your brain's ability to differentiate between concepts or skills. It helps you to really learn and gain an understanding at a deeper level.Instead of focusing on one subject during a learning session, learn several subjects or skills in succession.

Concepts in parallel

According to research, regular exercise can improve memory recall.Exercise also increases a protein (BDNF - brain-derived neurotrophic factor) that supports the function, growth, and survival of brain cells.

Exercise regularly

Most of us can type very fast, but research shows writing your notes by hand will allow you to learn more.Taking notes by hand enhances both comprehension and retention.

Take notes by hand

Studying over a period of time is more effective than waiting until the last minute.Distributed practice works because each time you try to remember something, the memory becomes harder to forget.

Chunk your study sessions

Regularly testing yourself will speed up learning. When you test yourself and answer incorrectly, you are more likely to recall the right answer after you look it up. You will also remember that you didn't remember.

Self-testing is highly effective

Learning and memory benefit from active involvement. When you add speaking to it, the content becomes more defined in long-term memory and more memorable.

Say it out loud

When you have to learn something new, try to associate it with something you are already familiar with. Then you only have to learn where it differs. You'll also be able to apply greater context, which will help with memory storage and retrieval.

Build on what you know

Research shows that those who teach, speed up their learning and remember more.Even just preparing to teach means that you will seek out key points and organize information into a coherent structure.

Teach someone else

Repeating anything over and over might not be the best way to master that task. If you practice a slightly different version, you will learn more and faster. For example, if you want to master a new presentation:<ul><li>Rehearse the basic skill. </li><li>Wait at least six hours to allow your memory to consolidate.</li><li>Practice again, but speak a little faster. </li><li>Practice next by speaking slower.</li><li>Break your presentation into smaller steps. Master each chunk, then put it back together.</li><li>Change the conditions. It will prepare you better for the unexpected.</li></ul>

Change the way you practice

But what you know, and what you can do, matters a whole lot more. So let's jump right in.Here are ten ways, backed by science, to speed up the learning process. 1. Say out loud what you want to remember.
