Hey thanks for reading!
What I was trying to convey is that fundamentally learning is memorization, whether conscious "rote memorization" or more less-intentional committing to memory from doing an activity
And that recognizing this allows us to speed up the process of learning fundamentals
Which in turn enables creativity as most people see it
- lelandbatey 2y agoYou state that "learning is memorization" but I don't think that is true. Of course learning involves something being persisted in one's brain, but stating that memorization and brain persistence persisting are synonyms seems like an incorrect description.
- singleshot_ 2y agoYou’re right. The OP is mistaken as to the distinction between memory and memorization. I am able to be creative because, for example, I remember that a woman’s hair smelled like flowers and secrets. It would not be possible to memorize such a thing.
- ahazred8ta 2y agorepetitio mater studiorum est -- repetition is the mother of learning "Repetition is the mother of learning, the father of action, which makes it the architect of accomplishment."
- watwut 2y agoConscious memorization and rote memorization are two different things. I can intentionally put things into memory without doing rote memorization - or even intentionally avoiding rote memorization. The techniques you use also give you different results in terms of whether or how you use the memorized concept or word in foreign language. (For example getting the effect where you can translate a word between foreign and your language, but can not use it foreign language sentence and do not understand it in context without translating.)
