Laws of Learning:
1)Readiness/Willingness
2)Exercise
3)Effect
4)Primacy
5)Recency
6)Intensity
7)Freedom

Woah so much laws? I think all can be categorized, 1 and 2 and 7 is interlinked, when you are willing to learn, you will be hardworking, and will pursue in all costs to learn. 2 and 5 is also linked, when you keep practice, it will be continuous, it will be repetitive, thus recent. 3 and 4 is linked because the effect of primacy is first impression, which is hard to erase, however this is also depending on 1, the person's willingness to accept different points of views on that subject, so that he will understand it more comprehensively. 3 and 6 is quite the same, is the method of gaining the knowledge and how vivid and strong it is to be able to be anchored deep in the memory.
