| These sites cover methods for learning
large amounts of complex information, retaining it in the long term and retrieving it
instantly even under pressure. This is relevant to those studying for examinations but
equally important for the similar learning tasks most of us face in our work. There are
also strategies for increasing the receptiveness of the memory and the ability to learn
passively. They include brainwave training, sleep learning and the use of background
music. MindUser's own online course - Memory Skills Online -
helps you to study for and pass examinations at any level in any subject. It gives
strategies for note taking and tape learning and shows how memory training skills can work
for exam study. Accelerated
Learning helps you find your preferred learning style and so absorb information and
master languages more quickly and easily. Home study and web-based programmes cater
for pre-school children, students, teachers and trainers [UK]

Sleep Learning involves listening to material
during sleep and harnessing the power of your subconscious to help you learn. It has been
applied especially to learning foreign languages, but also to examination study and for
implementing self-growth. An e-book which can be bought online describes the techniques

speakers [Gibraltar]
Superlearning has been developed by Sheila
Ostrander, Lynn Schroeder and Nancy Ostrander over the past 20 years. Baroque music is
used to create a state of relaxed alertness and the material to be learned is spoken in a
rhythmic way. The method has been applied to facts, figures and languages, as well as
skills such as public speaking and decision-making. Audio tapes and CDs can be bought
online, providing the special music and explaining how to make learning tapes for your own
material [Canada] |
