The author presents 2 columns (A and B) of related words and asks the reader to read the words.
Column A: ocean/breeze leaf/tree ...
Column B: bread/b_tter music/l_rics ...
Now He asks the reader to recollect as many words as possible from both lists. I had recollected more words from column B. This is why (in author's words): "When you encountered the words with blank spaces, some-thing both imperceptible and profound happened. You stopped, You stumbled ever so briefly, then figured it out. You experienced a microsecond of struggle, and that microsecond made all the difference. You didn't practice harder when you looked at column B. You practiced deeper... Deep practise is ... experiences where you're forced to slow down, make errors, and correct them...One real encounter, even for a few seconds, is far more useful than several hundred observations... It's all about finding the sweet spot... There's an optimal gap between what you know and what you're trying to do. When you find the sweet spot, learning takes off." This is why pilots learn better in flight simulators. The pilots "could dive, stall, and recover, spending hours inhabiting the sweet spot at the edge of his capabilities in ways he could never risk in an actual plane."
