Scott Young offers three approaches to help you identify your optimal learning strategy:
Create a Metalearning Map
These maps should break your topic down into 3 categories:
1.1. Concepts: relate to what you need to understand.
1.2. Facts: relating to what needs to be memorized.
1.3. Procedures: relate to what needs to be done.
You must appreciate that not all skills will require all 3 procedures. E.g; learning a basketball shot will require you to focus on the procedure almost entirely. Once you have considered each of the categories, you should focus on the most relevant category.
