Better Grades 8
Study In Spurts Take Notes And Review
By The Reading Laboratory
Written for
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
The title of this article may be
a little misleading. Nobody is real
ly sure just how learning works.
There's a whole host of plausible
theories on the psychological mar
ket but there are still large gaps
in our knowledge. Wc do know
enough about learning to figure
out some productive study meth
ods, and perhaps more important,
we know something about forget
ting, too.
We know, for instance, that your
learning is restricted by your span
of concentration, and we know
that the average span of concen
tration for a student on a single
subject is about 50 minutes. That's
why your classes are usually 50
minutes long.

We know that you can learn
meaningful material more easily
than you can memorize nonsense
syllables and that you can retain
the meaningful material longer,
Wc know that most forgetting oc
curs immediately after learning
because tlic continued flow of new
material makes it difficult fur a
new concept to "take." On t h e
other hand, if you can still re
member something the day aftcri
you learned it, you can be sure
you won't forget it easily.
This just scratches the surface
of learning theory, but it's enough
to help you plan your study time
Here's the way you ought to
studv to make the facts of
learning work for you:
Study in spurts. Study for about
a half hour, then take a five-min-ute
break.
Really turn your mind on full
power for each "study spurt." Get
the most out of each spurt. Be ac
tive, involved and thinking.
Switch subjects. Spend two half
hour periods on one subject then
switch to another. It'll keep your
mind fresh.
Spend the first five minutes of
each half-hour period reviewing
the previous half-hour. This kind
of regular reinforcement will elim-

NEW YORK .(UPl) IA single
right-angle turn at 13 milos-per-
hour can scrape off as much car
more intelligently, for instance,
if your span of concentration is
only 50 minutes, isn't it silly to
study one subject for three or four
hours straight through?
Since the influx of new material
speeds up forgetting, doesn't it
follow that if you study for sev
eral hours without reinforcement,
you'll forget most of what you
learned in the first hour? And
if meaningful material is the eas
iest to learn, isn't it pointless to
memorize without trying to under
stand what you're memorizing?
inate a lot of forgetting.
If you have to memorize
something, understand it first.
Take notes as you study just
key words to help you remem
ber. Your memory is tricky; don't
trust it.
At the end of each week, make
a quick review of the week's
study.
Make your mind work for you
don't work against it.
