Ultralearning
Ultralearning asks how people can acquire difficult skills through intense, self-directed projects rather than passive study alone. It examines how to map a goal, focus attention, practice in context, retrieve and retain knowledge, build intuition, use feedback, and experiment—then shows how to evaluate, maintain, or extend what a project teaches.
