Keys to remember

1. For most effective learning for the neural plasticity after age of 25
   1. Learn in small increments, trying to too much at once has an inverse effect
      1. Short learning bouts are absolutely essential
      2. Set a very serious contingency on the learner
      3. When the need to change is crucial enough, the neural plasticity gets activated very fast (군대에서 빡세게 훈련을 시키면 사람들이 빨리 배우는 이유)
