" To Enhance Your Learning, Take a Few Minutes to Think About What You’ve Learned " 
Experiment : 
Research participants who did an arithmetic brain-teaser and then REFLECTED  on their strategies for solving it went on to do 18% better in a second round than their peers who hadn’t set aside time to reflect . 
Reason ? 
The unconscious learning that happens when you tackle a challenging task can become more effective if you DELIBERATELY couple it with controlled, conscious attempts to learn by thinking, the research suggests.

Research Conducted by :  Giada Di Stefano of HEC Paris, Francesca Gino and Gary Pisano of Harvard Business School, and Bradley Staats of the University of North Carolina.
