Truth to tell, learning is never taught, period. I think most students are so stupid they just read their textbooks like a newspaper and expect to remember any of it, without doing any active recalls. But it’s also true that studying better requires more time and mental strain. In the case of visualization, it also probably needs (lots of) innate ability.
Pretty much my experience until I discovered SuperMemo/Incremental Reading/SRS. It’s pretty weird how little teachers think about teaching students how to learn when they’re supposed to spend so much of their time doing it.
I’m curious about the visualization stuff. I don’t think it’s all just talent but I don’t know how much of it could be gained from practice either.
