NYT article on Different Phases, Rhythms and Patterns and Rates in Learning

An interesting though somewhat difficult article about different ways and in patterns in which we learn things.  The author talks about "logarithmc learning," where we learn quickly at first  but then reach a plateau and stay there for a while until we develop new strategies. Language laeraning and some sports usually follow this pattern. He also talks about "exponential learning", where we go slowly at first and then build up progress, which might fit some people, learning in "waves" or other patterns or styles.  In any case, it's important to be patient during the slow, plateau or "paused" phases. Good for teachers or psychologists and pschology students.  :) K
