Publisher's Synopsis
Learning by rot is very important in life. To have the answer immediately at the tip of your tongue can have tremendous social and professional value. If you are a professor of geography and someone asked about the capital of a certain country, and you alone in the group knows the answer, just imagine what everyone looks at you at the minute. If this can be the case in a social sitting, what about your spiritual life when you are in the presence of a situation as Jesus when he was tempted by Satan? The memorization of the Bible proves to make a Christian a professional. The simple fact that you know from a question will lead to your credibility to overcome in the future any temptation which will try to fool you in life.. What we say concerning the rot learning of the Bible through trivia question goes along with our daily life. Most situations need more personalized learning. Of course, most constructivist educators will argue that real-life simulations, on-the-job training, and project-based learning are more effective at learning new concepts than rote memorization. The problem is that no single cost-effective constructivist activity will guarantee that you will be exposed to all the concepts you need - or that you will fully remember the facts that you are exposed to. If you actually want to acquire a full range of knowledge about a given topic, the most guaranteed and efficient way to do so is to study deliberately using the time-honored practice of repetition - specifically confidence-based repetition using a tool like trivia questions. This method provides a platform to review other probabilities and learn to chose the best answers faster, using cognitive science.
