How We Learn is a fascinating guide that explores what we know about learning and memory today, and how we can use it to make our lives better. In the book, award-winning science reporter Benedict Carey sifts through decades of education research and landmark studies to uncover the truth about how our brains absorb and retain information. He addresses questions such as: Is a dedicated desk in a quiet room really the best way to study? Can altering your routine improve your recall? Are there times when distraction is good? Is repetition necessary? Additionally, Carey reveals why teachers should give final exams on the first day of class, why it’s wise to interleave subjects when learning any new skill, and when it’s smarter to stay up late studying than attempt a cram session early in the morning.
