Superlearning is the usual term for a system to help people learn

large amounts of information quickly and easily. It is also the title

of a book on the subject, copyright date 1979, by Sheila Ostrander

and Lynn Schroeder with Ostrander.

The book focuses primarily on a system developed by Bulgarian

scientist Georgi Lozanov. The system involves playing very specific,

relaxing Baroque music with a tempo of 60 beats per minute as bits of

information are read to the student with 4 or 12, but usually 8,

beats between each piece of information. The tone of voice is

alternated for each bit of information to break monotony, which

hinders the learning process.

Accelerated Learning

http://www.funderstanding.com/accelerated_learning.cfm

Definition

" Accelerated learning is a comprehensive approach to school change,

developed in 1986 at Stanford University. Accelerated learning aims

to create school success for all students by closing the achievement

gap between at-risk and mainstream children. The idea is to radically

change individual schools by redesigning and integrating curricular,

instructional, and organizational practices so that they provide

enrichment--not just remediation--for at-risk students. "

Accelerated language learning

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerated_language_learning

Accelerated Language Learning developed based on the research and

theories of Georgi Lozanov`s suggestopedia. The term now associated

to many methods in education that work to accelerate learning. The

term " accelerated learning " is a very broad term and encompasses many

different techniques, methodologies and approaches to teaching and

learning. Some methods which would generally be considered to fall

under the title of accelerated learning would be: mind maps, Brain

Gym or Edu-Kinesthetics, concert texts, reading to music, multiple

intelligences theory, various memory techniques, the use of music to

influence the emotional and mental state of learners, state setting

in a broader sense, the use of songs to aid learning, pattern

spotting, the implementation of chunking, suggestopedia, Neuro-

linguistic programming, the use of drama, suspension of disbelief etc.
