Short, deliberate breaks during learning sessions can significantly accelerate the process by allowing the brain to replay the material.

“Turns out that during those micro rests the hippocampus a brain area as you know that's associated with learning and memory and the neocortex also associated with learning and memory undergoes replay of the thing that the individual is trying to learn at 20 times the speed”

Effortful, slower-paced engagement with information facilitates more effective learning than passive or high-speed information consumption.

“It takes a deliberative set of intentional actions to read a book. That's the difference in the modality.”
