Does Everyone Learn at the Same Rate?

[@deltapi8859]

So basically if you feel unorganized or hopeless in learning something you can always bet on gathering as much knowledge about the topic as you can. Basically keep on moving and learning as many bits as possible any try to come back and apply them.

Yea that’s why priming works so well

[@jorgesanabria6484]

Repetition the mother of skill

[@shojibdas3672]

@@jorgesanabria6484 What is priming ?

[@CoronaryArteryDisease.]

I freaking knew it. I knew that I was not understanding things as quickly because my classmates had things in their lives that put them at an advantage. They had access to more rigorous and comprehensive programs in middle and high school, and they probably had things outside of the class that gave them extra learning opportunities.

[@jorgesanabria6484]

Yep this is absolutely correct and Justin sung preaches this too. I do believe learning rate is a thing too though but it depending on prior knowledge is fascinating

[@Sub0x-x40]

Ok so to do better at studying something like computer science, i would be able to learn at a faster rate if i had already previously studied computer science. Truly. Groundbreaking

[@User24x]

What about learning/studying technique/method's impact on learning rate? Understanding info is different from memory

[@abdullahalhashem986]

Thanks for these videos and books..

[@ju7ior]

Hi Scott, what is defined as a learning opportunity as you used in this video?

[@bazzfreedom8622]

I think he means simply studying session / reading/ listening to lecture etc .

[@deltapi8859]

Go slow with the fundamentals.

[@MarkCancellieri]

This might apply to knowledge that is easy to understand, but when you are talking about things like advanced mathematics that isn't just about remembering but also understanding, I am extremely skeptical.

[@87advil]

Wouldn't that be even more reliant on prior knowledge? If you have gaps in your algebra skills you'll struggle more with precalculus, and so on. Some kids will look like they are faster at learning trigonometry but it really reflects their mastery of earlier knowledge. You would think that this would be more relevant the higher the level of prior understanding needed

[@Sub0x-x40]

@@87advil Yes math is heavily reliant on prior knowledge, there would be a ceiling you would find difficult to break through if your just an ordinary guy like me. Like advanced mathematics

Have fun teaching calculus to someone with an IQ of 70 mr "everyone can learn anything" xD

[@serioustr]

- IQ is a very problematic idea. Long story short: you can't really measure intelligence - Yes of course some people do have leaening disabilities and of course have much harder time learning stuff, but that's a different discussion to be had, like also what about autistic people, and so on.

[@WorthlessWinner]

@@serioustr - it's the most well established construct in the entire social sciences. If it is "problematic" then we must throw all social science in the bin. People have lied about it for ideological reasons for over a century, but the evidence it is true was solid in the 1920s and is even more solid now. Learning disabilities in some people would be enough to disprove his "you can teach ANYONE" claim, but that wasn't even a thing I brought up.
