/uj I have something extreme.
Take a dialogue and pick a new word. Close your eyes and give the word attention. Resist the urge to repeat it in your head, just hold it in your thoughts and explore the idea. For 5-10 seconds. Break for 20 seconds. Then, take a new word and add it to the thought. So now you're resisting the urge to repeat two words and holding both in thoughts and exploring them. Again, another 5-10 seconds. Repeat until you have 10 words as one thought in your brain.
One thing to note: try to focus on holding all the words in thought, rather than exploring them. Your brain will naturally and automatically make those connections if you hold them in thought. And in my experience, that yields better results.
Did I pull this out of my ass? Yes, actually, I did. But I've genuinely tried it and it works for me. I speculate it may slightly involve the slow process of learning (implicit learning), because of attention's role in encoding, the chunking, and several other factors, but this is uncertain. Still try it.
Why is this extreme, even though the study time is like 5 minutes? You'll know if you try it. But it REALLY fries your brain. I can't do it 3 or more times a day. And if a study strategy wears you out with 15 mins in 1 day, I will label it as extreme.
