Once initial learning has taken place, the new information has to be consolidated, or most of it will soon be forgotten. The three main activities for consolidating new learning are: practice, associate, and apply.
Practice – is the most basic and fundamental approach for consolidating new learning. Practice helps you to confirm that you have mastered the details of new learning, and provides the repetition that is necessary to establish that information firmly in your memory. To be most effective, practice should be conducted as soon as possible after the initial learning, then again after a day, after a week, and after a month.
Make Associations – is the key to helping you recall what you have learned with appropriate memory cues. There is little use in learning something if you cannot recall it in the future. Creating associations for learning is analogous to adding colourful tags to your luggage so you can easily find your bags amongst hundreds of similar bags at a busy airport. Associations for learning are mental in nature. As you analyze new learning and decide which features are important, which features are similar to what you already know, which features are unique, and which features are ambiguous; you are creating associations that will link your memories and make that new learning easier to recall.
Sometimes finding useful associations is the most challenging part of the learning process. If what you are trying to learn appears to be a hodgepodge of unrelated information, then it is difficult to create useful associations. You may have to go back and reorganize your learning task so that it makes sense to you. Then it is easier to make meaningful associations.
Apply – means you should make use of your new learning to make it more relevant. You can apply new learning to simplify tasks that you have already been working on, or you can tackle new tasks. Applications of new learning automatically include elements of practice and the creation of associations. Applications also add an important motivational component to your learning – your learning has value.
