Watching video twice at 2x can benefit learning better than once at normal speed
I’m a bit puzzled by the recurring apparition of articles about learning faster on HN.<p>I don’t think I have suffered from the speed at which material covers a subject since I left school. Finding interesting material, properly structured with a good balance of introductory and in depth coverage and giving solid insight into a topic remains challenging — it already was when I was a student to be fair. Good teaching ressources are the exception rather than the norm. Finding the time to properly conceptualise and deeply think about what I’m trying to learn has been challenging. But the speed at which I can consume teaching material is not something I remember being bothered by this past decade. Thinking about it more often than not I wish I could actually go slower rather than faster.<p>I’m curious about how the experience of others commenters differ here as it’s obviously a topic of interest to some in this community.
