Hi There
I think you'll find that sleep is for assimilating information
already learned. I rember we all got very excited at the
possibilites of learning while we slept..what a dream..excuse
the pun...how we would put those 'dead' hours to good use.
Sadly not. Over the past 20 years our knowledge of how the brain
works has more than doubled and that was one of the findings.
wedid a lot of research on dreams and sleep learning at
Edinburgh in the 80s and were most disappointed to find
assimilation rather than new learning took place.
essentially we are making sende of the new information by
putting it in order and assimilating it with information we
already have on that subject. We tend to gain understanding of
theninform,ation we have just learned as well, though that may
take several days sometimes even weeks before we gte a full
appreciatio of a new subject. The term for this subconscious
learning is Ontogenisis.
Sunblimal learning by the way is totally illegal. Messages flash
on a screen so quickly we are not consciously aware of them but
our subconscious picks them up, assimilates them and before we
know where we are we are stocking up on Whizzo Garden fertilizer
even though we live 15 stories up and hate gardening. A slight
exageration but you know what I mean.
Hope this has been of some help. BTW Accelerated Learning uses
the subconscious legally to speed up information uptake and
understanding.
