3. Implement: Take action based on what is learned; avoid illusion of competence.
4. Share: Teach or discuss to reinforce learning.

Input vs. Output

• Focus more on output than input.
• Too much input leads to shallow learning.
• Deep learning requires using and implementing knowledge.

Visualization and Association Technique

• Brain remembers pictures better than words.
• Use visuals and associations to memorize numbers and information.
• Practice and implementation enhance memory techniques.

Recommendation for Mastery
