Accelerated Learning Programs For Everyone

By Kimberly Long


People learn in many different ways, which means that teaching styles also need to vary. Some individuals absorb information better by verbal instruction, many need to observe the data being put into action, while others require physical involvement in order to retain the knowledge. The Accelerated Learning programs focus on these core differences and have techniques available that are designed to promote the multiple ways in which humans think.

Recent scientific studies on the functions of the human brain are what these programs are based upon. The accumulated information is utilized in the formulation of techniques that are especially geared toward each knowledge gathering style. When data is presented in a way a person identifies with, they are much more likely to retain it permanently.

One of the leading principles in these types of programs, is the understanding that people do not learn best when using just their brain. The best education involves utilizing all parts the person, including body, mind, senses, and emotions. Involving various types of input, such as color, music, images, creativity, physical activity and more, allows one to become fully immersed in the experience.

Emotion has a huge impact on a person's ability to learn effectively. When one goes into the endeavor with a negative attitude, everything becomes overwhelming, stressful, and intimidating, which can make it very difficult to absorb any type of knowledge. However, when one has a positive outlook, they feel happy, engaged, and are excited to pick up new information and are more likely to retain it.

Another main principle is that humans actually learn on multiple levels simultaneously. Traditional approaches tend to present data in linear manner, but a person's brain is geared more towards receiving many types of things at once. Connections and correlations are made within the mind when a person is given input that stimulates multiple senses all together.

The programs also focus on collaboration over competition, because it is important when understanding information retention. By nature, humans are social, but when under the impression that they must fight for their knowledge, they are less focused on retaining it, than they are on gathering it. By contrast, when a group of individuals work on a subject together and give each other feedback, they gain multiple perspectives and tangible memories with which to associate the data, making it more solid.

The human brain understands new input best when it is introduced in context. Essentially, people are more likely to learn something when they spend time putting the idea into action and have real time experience with the data. It is easier to retain something when it is tangible and absolute, than it is when it remains an idea that is random and hypothetical

The goal of these techniques is to get positive results for every individual who utilizes them. Programs are available for all types of individuals from preschoolers, to college students, adults who want to learn individually, as well as teachers, and they can be utilized at home, in schools, or in the workplace. They are effective because they are designed to emulate and enhance the natural human way of knowledge retention.
