Here are the 3 key takeaways: 

1) There are 3 key brain networks required for learning:

• Our “recognition network” - determined by “unconscious” cognitive skills that help the brain engage with new learning
• Our “strategic network” - influenced by “conscious” application of learning strategies or practices adopted
• Our “affective network” - our emotions and mindsets which drive our motivation for learning

2) Characteristics of high-impact learning strategies:

• Promote long-term retention
• Save time over the long-term
• May feel effortful during the learning process, but it is the mental effort involved that promotes learning over time 

3) High-impact vs low-impact strategies discussed: 

Low-impact strategies: 

• Highlighting & underlining
• Rereading

High-impact strategies:

• Mind maps
• Flash cards as part of retrieval practice
• Dual coding - Using visual imagery to compliment text information
• Multi-sensory approach
• (Some) memory mnemonics eg. memory palace etc
• Reteaching/ Self-explanation
