Studying: Context is Everything

According to  Robert Bjork, the director of the UCLA Learning and Forgetting Lab, "Everything you know about learning is wrong"
1. skills need to be learned in context of related skills--not separately
2. learning should be done in varied physical locations (also to add context)
3. study breaks help retention
4. take notes AFTER class instead of during (helps recall)
