Great article, Steve!
Here is a brief summary for those who have already read it:
This process is called learning:
Reality ---- Rep Of Reality ---- Invariant Rep
This process is called anticipation:
Invariant Rep ---- New Situation
Question: how to change a flawed
Invariant Rep? Since Invariant means
unchanging, does this mean we have to
make a new Invariant Rep and then replace
the old one with it? Which means we have to
face Reality once again, make a better mental model
of it and then derive the Invariant Rep from it...
One of the best teacher I've had told me:
Every time she learns something new,
she links with knowledge she already has.
And the more links you create,
the faster you'll be able to learn.
A good way to do this is to explain
to yourself the new concept in 3-4 different ways. |
