Study Smart will show you in clear, simple terms how you can use breakthroughs from the science of learning to study smarter for the SAT/ACT-or anything else, for that matter. Backed by decades of research from university learning labs, the techniques in Study Smart are surprising, counterintuitive, and best of all, have been shown to really work. Study Smart will help you learn the fundamentals of how to study for the SAT/ACT and change the way you study forever.

10 Ways to Master the SAT/ACT Using the Science of Learning

Human learning is studied in a variety of ways. Motor learning is often studied separately from verbal learning. Studies may delve into anatomy vs function, may view behavioral outcomes or look discretely at the molecular and cellular level of learning. All have merit but they are dispersed across a wide literature and rarely are the findings integrated and synthesized in a meaningful way. Human Learning: Biology, Brain, and Neuroscience synthesizes findings across these levels and types of learning and memory investigation. Divided into three sections, each section includes a discussion by the editors integrating themes and ideas that emerge across the chapters within each section. Section 1 discusses general topics in human learning and cognition research, including inhibition, short term and long term memory, verbal memory, memory disruption, and scheduling and learning. Section 2 discusses cognitive neuroscience aspects of human learning. Coverage here includes models, skill acquisition, declarative and non declarative memory, age effects on memory, and memory for emotional events. Section 3 focuses on human motor learning. This book is suitable for cognitive neuroscientists, cognitive psychologists, kinesthesiologists, and graduate courses in learning. * Synthesizes research from a variety of disciplines, levels, and content areas * Provides section discussions on common findings between chapters * Covers motor and verbal learning

Human Learning: Biology, Brain, and Neuroscience

This volume provides a window into cutting-edge research in cognitive psychology on inhibition in memory, metacognition, educational applications of basic memory research, and many other topics related to the groundbreaking research of Robert Bjork. It will appeal to graduate students and researchers in learning and memory.
