The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
You want to spike adrenaline at the end or immediately after a learning episode and then non sleep deep rest and then sleep itself, okay? Four steps, hope that clarifies things for you, if you have any additional questions please put them in the comment section below.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
the ideal protocol would be focus on the thing you're trying to learn very intensely.
anything that increases adrenaline will increase learning and memory and will reduce the number of repetitions required to learn something.
And we can now add to that that spiking adrenaline provided it can be done in a safe way is going to reduce the number of repetitions required to learn and that should be done at the very tail end or immediately after a learning bout which is compatible with all the other protocols that I mentioned.
And that should be done at the very tail end or immediately after a learning bout which is compatible with all the other protocols that I mentioned.
But at a very basic level, we can confidently say that there are not one, not dozens, but as I mentioned before, hundreds of studies in animals and in humans that point to the fact that triggering the increase of adrenaline late in learning or immediately after learning is going to be most beneficial if your goal is to retain that information for some period of time and to reduce the number of repetitions required in order to learn that information.
