I use to think this is how everybody bootstraps learning stuff. Invaluable skill for PhDs & postdocs. http://www.drmaciver.com/2013/08/how-did-you-get-started-so-quickly/ … via @DRMacIver

I think it's one of those skills that rarely taught, so most of the people who do it are the ones who figure it out on their own.

Only taught by the best of mentors. I has to figure it out myself but not sure when. Came relatively naturally. Correlates with coders IMHO.

Some of it I was probably explicitly taught, but if so I don't remember what!

I was never taught how to learn. Was a huge shock that British children were since I was only taught rote learning at school.

I don't think we were? At least I have no memory at all of that being a thing. But my long term memory is very poor.

The material was relatively heavy on writing and reading skills, which helps develop that, but it was still very example based.

My peers all knew how to learn and study . When I asked: Did you have to memorise things exactly? They said no.

We are taught incredibly vacuous BS. Tons of regilious and political propaganda & no critical thought. Also brainwashed to be non MEerners.
