Title: Make it Stick: The Science of Successful Learning
Authors: P. Brown; H. Roediger; M. McDaniel
Description: Arguably, the primary goal of college learning is to understand and remember content so it can be applied to future situations. Make it Stick emphasizes the role of memory in learning and how new insights into how memory works can lead to better retention of what is learned. The authors argue that many common study habits such as highlighting, rereading notes, and cramming, are ineffective. Drawing on cognitive psychology and neuroscience, the authors provide practical techniques for facilitating more productive learning experiences and helping students develop more effective study habits.
