20/20 Vision System
Using a simple mathematical model, according to our educational powers to be show, one can easily predict how the learning process will look in the long term perspective without what I call rapid cognition. One of the most striking observations is, that apart from the initial period, the speed of learning does not decrease substantially in time (one would rather expect a rapid decline of the knowledge acquisition rate because of the accumulation of outstanding repetitions). Another interesting fact is that even with rote memorization; one is not likely to master more than several hundred facts and figures corresponding to mnemonic visually bonded items in a lifetime. The average learning speed of an average student amounts to about 300 items/year/min if you believe educational statistics.(i.e. the student can memorize 300 items per year if he or she works one minute per day). This theoretically predicted speed of learning has been confirmed more than once in structured small groups of subjects. A researched model of learning shows that a student who stops repetitions after a 5-year-long work with rote memorization is likely to forget 60% of the learned material in the first year after the cessation! [This figure has later been proven exaggerated] Though for shorter periods of time, this staggering figure has been confirmed in practice. At this point one might be disappointed with the volatility of knowledge gained by rote learning, but the above figures also confirm once again that learning without understanding is no learning at all. We remember what we understand, we understand only what we pay attention to, and we pay attention to what we need, like or want. A mental file folder makes us focus! Therein lies the problem, lack of focus.
