Choice 4 – Information Learning and Remembering

Everyone learns through their senses though no equally for everybody. For example, the blind are sight deprived and the deaf are hearing deprived. And, for many of us, all senses is functional but we do not use each as well as it could be used.

With remembering, there appears to be two paths toward creating long term memories. Most of us will have memories associated with what we already know during certain sleep processes. Others (about a quarter of the population) appear to be pre-processing new information for storage of or linkage of those new ideas and facts to similar information already known. The main strongest visible clue that this is happening is that such individuals are frequently receiving seemingly random calls for more detail or confirmation of relationships from their memory processing part of the brain. These calls for more detail or detail confirmation frequently result in the need to ask specific questions of an instructor if the new information is coming from a teaching session. Thus, the desire to interrupt with questions or ideas. But such random calls are not limited to verbal instruction. Random calls can come while reading as well where, all of a sudden, the reader feels an intense desire to “go back and re-read or to go off and investigate a tangent” to provide an answer to the random call.

When you are with a small group receiving instruction on a topic, do you generally want to:

Hold your questions to the end.

Interrupt with questions or ideas.

You must make a choice to proceed. In the next section, you will see your own style and your own type.
