It has been requested that I post my own take on efficient learning. As I spend half a page describing, this is not yet ready for publishing, but I'm putting out there because there may be (great) benefit to be had. After all, there is low-hanging fruit if you're willing to abandon traditional methods: simply doing practice problems in a different order may improve your test score by 40 points.
Thank you VERY much. This is very interesting; I'm off to go try it.
If you happen to know, does your understanding about background noise suggest that using a white noise generator of some kind is ineffective at combating a "quiet room?" I've been going between nature sounds and pink noise in such an environment. It'd be convenient if that were sufficient, but I'd much like to know if I can squeeze out some extra efficiency by moving my study environment.
Thanks again, this was very well put together (as far as communicating the ideas goes), no fluff.
White noise is fine; irrelevant sound effect operates on anything that sounds like it may be human speech, which turns out to be any sort of fluctuating tone.
