So, what does it take to learn something? First, you have to get it, then make sure you don’t forget it. To be precise, make sure you remember it. Based on the latest research in cognitive science, neurobiology, and educational psychology, learning takes a lot more than text on a page. Lets know what turns our brain on.
1. Make it visual
Images are far more memorable than words alone, and make learning much more effective. It also makes things understandable. Put the words within or near the graphics they relate to, rather than on the bottom or on another page, and learners will be up to twice as likely to solve problems related to the content.

2. Use a conversational and personalized style
Tell stories to yourself instead of feeling what you read as a lecture. Use casual language. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Which would you pay more attention to : a stimulating dinner party companion, or a lecture?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Think more deeply
In better words, unless you actively flex your neurons, nothing much happens in your head. A reader has to be motivated, engaged, curious, and inspired to solve problems, draw conclusions, and generate new knowledge. And for that, you need challenges, exercises, and thought provoking questions, and activities that involve both sides of he brain, and multiple senses.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Touch the emotions
Your ability to remember something is largely dependent on its emotional content. You remember what you care about. You remember when you feel something. No we’re not talking about any heart-wrenching stories. We’re talking emotions like surprise, curiosity, fun, “what the…?” , and the feeling of “I Rule !!” that comes when you solve a puzzle, learn something everybody else thinks is hard, or realize you know something that “ I’m more technical than thou”, etc.
