What is called when you sleep on your notes/books in order to "absorb" information?

The layman's term I always heard was "learning by osmosis."

pen and paper - mostly they write it down. \n\nif they don't I'd guess it's called short term memory or working memory (biologically it involves an increase in the efficiency with which nerve impulses pass across synapses. It does not require any protein synthesis or remodeling of the synapse. )

I've done that too.  Then I read about dreams and started writing down my dreams as soon as I woke up.  This gives you some contact with your subconcious and practice you get actually gives you some control over what you do in your sleep.  Instead of being like two seperate people you start communicating with yourself.

The technique is known as lucid dreaming, there are a number of books and devices.\n\nCheck out the link below.

Sleep Learning is no good for fact memorization or concepts requiring abstract/analytical thought.\n\nIt is good for suggestions for simple behavior changes, getting an overall deep-down "feel" for a foreign language (still have to be awake for the vocabulary learning and practice part), and so on.

During the course of the course (cute), I read (not try memorize or understand) my notes. If I can not put them in sentence form I know I did not take good notes and change them. \n\nBy reading them over daily (usually takes a max. of ten minutes) I find I (by default) know most of the material and spend little time studying the night before.\n\nActually I study two nights before and leave the night before for something I might not understand, or fun.\n\nGet an "A".

I have no idea. Perhaps it is the transition from awake to sleep that does the forgetfulness. Maybe the sleeping system is like a computer. It turns off, then it goes into 'Hibernate' mode.

I tried that thing where you play an educational tape all night while you sleep.  I recorded myself spelling out words I had to learn.  It didn't work much.  I think it worked only cause it took me an hour to fall asleep cause of the noise, and I learned during that hour I was awake.

it could be paranoia. I tear mine becuase i read somewhere that the ripping of paper is calming. And if you focus on the sound, it truly is.

"What Are The Effects Of Sleep Deprivation on Short Term Memory?"...\n\nHave 3 people play the card game "Memory" (where you have 20 cards with pictures on them and turn them upside down, turning them over 2 at a time until you can turn two over and match them all) after getting 8 continuous hours of sleep.  Then, the next night, have one person get 8 hours of sleep, on person get 4 hours of sleep, and the last get no sleep, the play the game again.  Record your observations.\n\n"Under What Conditions Do Beans Grow Best?"…\n\nGet 4 jars and fill one with soil from your back yard, one with potting soil, one with sand, and pay a wet paper towel in the last.  Put a bean seed in each one (placing the seed under the wet paper towel in the jar) and water them equally each day (spray the paper towel twice daily to keep it moist).  See which method of planting produces the best bean plant.

Know the material covered in class, it's really that simple. I've found I remember the most when I try and absorb as much as I can when it is actually being gone over in lecture. Often times for me, this means not taking any notes (typically all that you need to know is covered in your class text) and focusing on understanding the concepts being gone over.

Yawning or "pandiculation," is still pretty much a mystery to psychologists. (I just asked a friend in the trade.) Aside from the obvious observations of how it's related to boredom and how it gets "contagious" after a certain period of development in people, there isn't that much information on it. Sorry. (Hey, this is info from an old friend, so you might want to check newer sources.)

"Bibliomancy, also known as Stichomancy amd Libromancy, is a form of divination that seeks to know the future by randomly selecting a passage from a book, frequently a sacred text.\n\n"The most common procedure involves placing the book on its spine, and with eyes closed, allowing the book to fall open to a random page. Then, with the eyes still closed, place a finger on the open page and read the passage indicated."\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bibliomancy\n\nA best guess at when it would've become a popular form of divination would be the mid-15th century, which is when mass production of printed materials was made possible by the invention of moveable type.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gutenberg_Bible\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printing_press

I think you mean a 'cheating' note.  Before going into an exam, very small notes are made on a piece of paper to help to answer one or more of the exam questions.  It is known as a 'crib sheet'.  Cribbing meaning copying.
