Most education and attempts and learning fail.
Why is that?
This episode breaks down the top reason why - a lack of affective context.
Human memory does not remember everything that you experience. Instead, your memory remembers the emotional reactions to things and then you fill the rest in when you have to recall it.
This is why people often do not remember, or learn, from most of the content they read, watch or listen to. It either is not important to them or it was not presented in a way that created an emotional connection.
