Title: What is the best way to study to boost your brain power?
Post by: thedoc on 05/10/2016 13:53:01

harmaine van der Merwe asked the Naked Scientists:
   Hi,

My daughter is a 3rd year veterinary student and I would like to know what are the best ways to enhance her brain power so that she can obtain good marks. Currently she is really struggling and it is not for lack of not working. I think her studying approach towards  veterinary subjects are incorrect. Could you please advise what she can do so that she can remember and recall information and perform well in this course.
What do you think?

Practice napping, particularly after studying. Apparently, it's during sleep that much of memory consolidation happens. After you nap, the amount of stuff waiting for processing is dramatically reduced.
