| Jan 10, 2022 at 17:43 | comment | added | Forbin | @RandyZeitman - did you read the entire article? Or just the first part and skimmed the rest? The article mentions studies that show for certain kinds of learning, young adults in their late teens to late 20's are fastest. But the applicable part here is when it talks about task training (such as memorizing tapping patterns), and that consolidation of skills happens differently in children than in teens or adults. By the way, I DO agree with you on the point that persistence matters far more than efficiency! And I did mention language in my very first sentence. | |
| Jan 9, 2022 at 16:58 | comment | added | Randy Zeitman | The link you have about "learning faster" is about LANGUAGE. "Adults "buckle down" better than children do." ... and that matters far more because persistence matters far more than efficiency. I am 100x better learner now. | |
