Creativity : Alternate Solutions II

Earlier, we talked about how thinking of alternate solutions to a problem can help you find creative ways to solve it. Here's an exercise to help you practice this technique.



Imagine that you're a detective. Try to solve the case by coming up with at least 10 different explanations for the following situations.



1. A shopping cart full of hay is found in an alley.

2. You wake up to notice that a blue X has been drawn on your ceiling.

3. The grass was mowed yesterday, but it's already 5 inches high.



Come up with your own strange situation, then try to think of 10 creative explanations.

Memory : Cramming

Cramming for a test usually results in very short lived learning. After cramming, you can almost feel the material leaking out of your brain! This is because you have under-learned the topic and your mind has very little reinforcement of the facts.



Suppose that you study something just to the point where you can recall it without aid and let's say that this takes 1 hour. These facts have barely made it into your long-term memory. If you want to keep them there, you'll need reinforce them with a little over-learning. Aiming for at least 50% over-learning will give you a much better chance at recalling the facts correctly. 50% over-learning in this case would be an additional 30 minutes of study.



Over-learning can also increase your confidence in the material, which has been shown to improve recall.

Vocabulary : Word of the Day : Sophomoric

soph-o-mor-ic



adj :: Conceited and overconfident of knowledge but poorly informed and immature.



"He had proved it to-day, with his amateurish and sophomoric productions." --London, Jack
