What are some of the other learning principles apart from AR and SR

  1. Practice skills by doing
  2. Immersion 
  3. Text + Speech: The brain treats written and spoken words as the same thing; using them simultaneously causes cognitive overload.
  4. Images + Speech: The brain processes images and words in different channels, so combining them maximizes learning.
  5. Space: Utilizing spatial layout and consistent design aids memory retrieval and comprehension.
  6. Context/State: Learning is tied to the physical environment and emotional state at the time of encoding.
  7. Multitasking: The brain cannot multitask; it switches rapidly between tasks, reducing focus and retention.
  8. Interleave: Mixing up topics (interleaving) produces better long-term retention than blocking (focusing on one topic at a time).
  9. Error: Making mistakes during the learning process, when corrected, strengthens memory and understanding.
  10. Priming: Preparing the brain with context or pre-exposure to information makes it easier to process new, related, or complex ideas.
  11. Story: Human brains are hardwired for narrative, making stories an effective tool for organizing, remembering, and sharing information.
  12. Stress: Low-to-moderate stress can enhance focus, but high stress inhibits the brain's ability to learn and recall information.
