I just wanna find out about , they way we learn? do we remember the stuff we knew already, or how is it?

Question

i just wanna know little bit about the theory of learning. i guess the question is this : How do we learn?

Answer 1

the bottom line is "we don't know". with m.r.i.s and micro transmitters we are making great progress in tracking function and activation areas but the mechanisms of memory still elude us. muscle learning has taken a lot of researchers in a new direction. when you write, type or do other repetitive things they are finding that the brain isn't putting out all the signals required to drive these functions. when you write you don't think about forming letters you think of the content and your hand does the rest. now we have to figure out how the hand stores memory. the input part of memory (repetitive learning and experience) you should be fully acquainted with if you went to any kind of school.

Answer 2

There are different ways, you can learn by being shown what to do, by doing yourself, or by memory. Each way is a way of learning, depends how your brain works which one is a better way of learning.

Answer 3

We have many levels of memory.  Some will be more vivid: the people we see every day, the routines we perform on a daily basis - things like this are most clearly remembered and ingrained.  After that, there are levels of slightly decreasing importance.  At a certain level, things become cloudy.  If there is a book you read a long time ago - and you never dreamed about it and never discussed it later and it did not connect to your experiences, it got pushed into the bottom depths of memory.  

What is interesting about the brain is how much space we really have to remember things.  But part of the reason we forget is to stay sharp - so that we are not overburdened with every detail of what happened in language arts class on a cold winter day in 4th grade.
