If you want to learn quicker and remember more, here are 10 powerful learning techniques:

First, some general principles that underlie the techniques and aid memory:

1) We don't remember all types of information equally (visual and spatial are best)

2) Attach new memories to old memories

3) Make information vivid and exciting

4) Engage as many senses as possible

Memory Palace

1) Prepare an organised location (E.g. your house layout)

2) Create markers in this location in an easy to follow order

3) Make a clear image of the information you would like to remember

4) Place each item you are trying to remember on the marked locations

The Textbook Method

Write your own textbook chapter on a topic.

It requires a deep understanding of the concepts and how they fit together.

You're forced to be consise and to create a clear mental structure of the topic.

There's no hiding behind knowledge gaps.

The Question-Book Method

Rephrase notes as questions to be answered later—this engages the retrieval muscle.

When reading a book, restate the big idea of a chapter or section as a question.

This requires deeper thinking and not just adding a "?" to notes you copied verbatim.
