All language subtitles for 185 Tip from Angela - Mixing Knowledge.en_US

Hey.

Well done.

Thumbs up for yet another module that you've just gotten out of the way.

I want to talk to you a little bit about again how we learn because it's the thing that completely fascinates

me how human brains are able to process like the inputs and make the connections in your brain.

Now one of the sort of topics of research I've been reading a lot about is this idea of mixing different

areas of knowledge.

So for example in programming let's say in one of the modules you were learning about conditional statements,

if and else, and in another part you were learning about loops, like for loops, while loops.

Now if you just learn all of those things in like a capsule, right, where you just learn one thing and

you only use that one thing then the connections that you're making your brain are not as strong as

if you had been able to mix up these concepts and somehow use them together.

So let me give you an example. Let’s say that you've got one module where you learnt a particular topic,

another module where you learnt a different topic.

If you can come up with a program or some bit of code that mixes two things from those two modules together,

even it's not particularly grand,

it’s not like some sort of huge piece of software,

and use just like a small bit of code, like five or ten lines of code, but it uses two different parts

of knowledge from different parts of the course,

then you're already starting to solidify your knowledge, right?

So see if you can use these ways of mixing up like something that you learned in module 3, something

that you learned in module 5, and try to cobble those things together and see if you can use them within

the same context.

So try that out and let me know how you get on.
