You can use any of the following problem-solving methods to profoundly improve your understanding and learning of new material and information:

• DEAM (Double-Entry Aha Method, http://www.winwenger.com/deam.htm, together with its extension, “Evoked Sidebands” at http://www.winwenger.com/evoked.htm)
•  CrabApple, and the Problem-Solving Woodswalk, both at  http://www.winwenger.com/part56.htm  To some extent a Rorschach Inkblot Test can be similarly used.
• Windtunnel (probably most people’s favorite among the wave of new methods, the version at http://www.winwenger.com/part75.htm) and/or its near twin Freenoting as detailed at http://www.winwenger.com/freenote.htm  - Freenoting is already also an accelerated learning technique in its own right, not only a problem-solver...
• Basic simple “brainstorming,” such as all possible factors in a situation under study, or of all possible relationships between several such factors.
• Sequential Divergent/Convergent stages through discrete specific steps, such as in the Osborn-Parnes CPS method a simplified version of which is our “Gravel Gulch” method which is detailed at http://www.winwenger.com/gravel.htm
• Over-the-Wall, going for surprise insights at http://www.winwenger.com/overwall.htm, and/or its simpler and quicker version at “Three Doors,” http://www.winwenger.com/part48.htm
• High Thinktank (http://www.winwenger.com/htt.htm), especially as a way to get fresh insights up on material and contexts long since heavily plowed.
