Dialogue: 0,0:00:03.56,0:00:06.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Inter what now? Don't be put off by the
Dialogue: 0,0:00:06.57,0:00:09.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fancy name. All this really means is that
Dialogue: 0,0:00:09.27,0:00:11.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if you study a couple of things, at once
Dialogue: 0,0:00:11.25,0:00:14.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you'll learn more. Let me explain,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.49,0:00:16.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,imagine you're learning geography and
Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.65,0:00:20.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you have three topics: rivers, droughts,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.25,0:00:22.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and pollution. You might think that it
Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.98,0:00:24.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,would be best to study everything in
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.69,0:00:26.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rivers, making sure you know it really
Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.85,0:00:29.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,well before moving on. It just makes
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.70,0:00:32.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sense. Better to focus on one topic and
Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.31,0:00:34.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,get really good at it, then tackle the
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.56,0:00:39.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,next topic. But, it turns out this is
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.39,0:00:42.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,wrong. Remember when we talked about the
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.06,0:00:44.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,pathways in the brain, you want to build
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.88,0:00:46.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the strongest path possible so that it
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.95,0:00:50.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,lasts as long as possible. It feels like
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.37,0:00:52.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,going over it lots in one go will be
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.38,0:00:54.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the best way to do this, but actually
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.63,0:00:58.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,research shows that this isn't the case.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.43,0:01:01.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In order to build a good path you have
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.41,0:01:04.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to make the most effort. In the brain,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.74,0:01:07.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,effort means working hard. If you study
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.92,0:01:10.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rivers, droughts, and earthquakes all at
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.50,0:01:12.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the same time, your brain has to jump
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.84,0:01:16.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,between three different topics. That's a
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.26,0:01:18.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,lot harder than just staying with one, so
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.57,0:01:20.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your brain puts in a lot more effort and
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.76,0:01:22.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you will learn the three topics much
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.80,0:01:23.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,better.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.48,0:01:26.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Fair warning, it will feel more difficult
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.64,0:01:29.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,than studying one topic at a time. But
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.55,0:01:31.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,know that all that effort is growing
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.50,0:01:33.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your brain and your learning will
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.33,0:01:36.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,jumpstart.
