#### Redundancy may not always be duplicative if items are still atomic and improve upon the acquisition of data --- Redundancy is not wasted time/effort if it solidifies information via connection through different neural pathways, contexts, or angles: `Pi = ?` passive and active recall `3.14 = ?` know that pi = 3.14 (active) but maybe not immediately that 3.14 = Pi so use both cards to solidify passive recognition of ** 3.14 as Pi** In Norwegian Language Learning: `Hund = ?` (_Dog_) `dog = ?` (_Hund_) `<picture of a dog>` (_Hund_) `audio of "Hund"` (_Dog_) The same information, the fact that 'dog' is 'hund' in Norwegian. Just approached 4 different ways. [[For useful learning it helps to connect a piece of information to as many meaningful contexts as possible]]. --- Tags: [[Learning]] - [[Memory]] - [[Memorizaton]] - [[Spaced Repetition]] - [[Knowledge Formation]] Reference: [[( 2020-09-09 Effective Learning Twenty Rules of Formulating Knowledge]] Related: - [[( 2020-09-04 Want to Remember Everything You'll Ever Learn Surrender to This Algorithm]]
