THE READING ROOM02

FIELD NOTES / LEARNING

A little room
to think.
给思考
留一点空间。

Understanding begins when we have space to connect a new idea with something we already know.理解,始于把一个新想法与已有的知识联系起来。

Our working memory holds a small amount of information while we use it. When it gets crowded, even a simple explanation can feel difficult.我们的工作记忆会暂时保存正在使用的少量信息。当它变得拥挤,即使简单的解释也可能难以理解。

Connect the unfamiliar
to the familiar.
把陌生的概念,
与熟悉的事物联系起来。
