Researchers
say young people who think they can multitask and learn at the same
time are fooling themselves. When students text, watch TV or browse the
web while doing schoolwork, they understand and remember less, and have
greater difficulty applying their learning. Almost a third of students
say they multitask while doing homework. Source Link
Maybe
the old adage about “sleeping on it” should be “sleeping with it” as
new research shows you can learn by listening while you’re asleep. Study
participants were able to learn a musical selection better by listening
to it as they slept. Scientists think the same technique could be used
to learn a foreign language. Source Link
