Aspects of learning that are important but I haven’t formally synthesized yet:
Visual/spatial approaches to memorization
Calibrating reading speeds/looking up definitions/thinking up examples: filtering and organizing to distinguish medium, “future details,” and the “learning edge”
Mental practice/review and stabilizing an inner monologue/thoughts
Organization and disambiguation of review questions/procedures
Establishing procedures and stabilizing them so you can know if they’re working
When to carefully tailor your approach to a particular learning challenge, and when to just behave mechanically (i.e. carefully selecting problems addressing points of uncertainty vs. “just do the next five problems every 3 days”)
Planning, anticipating, prioritizing, reading directions adequately, for successful execution of complex coordinated tasks in the moment.
Picking and choosing what material to focus on and what not to study
Distinctions:
Cognitivist vs behaviorist, symbolic vs visual/spatial, exposure vs review, planning vs doing, judgment vs mechanism.
