Even though it's not as recent anymore, it goes into many concepts beneficial to learning that correlate with what I know of Cognitive Psychology. It does this without going into too much empirical proof, making it an excellent read for students and people who are just getting started to improve their learning efficiency. Some of the concepts it goes into: - Importance of self-testing - Importance of reflection - Spacing of practice - Interleaving & Varied practice - Elaboration as a manner of quality encoding sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

To most of us, learning something "the hard way" implies wasted time and effort. Good teaching, we believe, should be creatively tailored to the different learning styles of students and should use strategies that make learning easier. Make It Stick turns fashionable ideas like these on their head. Drawing on recent discoveries in cognitive psychology and other disciplines, the authors offer concrete techniques for becoming more productive learners. Memory plays a central role in our ability to carry out complex cognitive tasks, such as applying knowledge to problems never before encountered and drawing inferences from facts already known. New insights into how memory is encoded, consolidated, and later retrieved have led to a better understanding of how we learn. Grappling with the impediments that make learning challenging leads both to more complex mastery and better retention of what was learned. Many common study habits and practice routines turn out to be counterproductive. Underlining and highlighting, rereading, cramming, and single-minded repetition of new skills create the illusion of mastery, but gains fade quickly. More complex and durable learning come from self-testing, introducing certain difficulties in practice, waiting to re-study new material until a little forgetting has set in, and interleaving the practice of one skill or topic with another. Speaking most urgently to students, teachers, trainers, and athletes, Make It Stick will appeal to all those interested in the challenge of lifelong learning and self-improvement.

And that is how the book prepares its audience, the central theme is learning the right way ("right way" meaning supported by empirical studies).
Some of the advice may be taken as common sense, some not, but the overall structure of the book follows a thoughtful structure, prepending each chapter with visual examples to make sure the information sticks in the reader's mind.
Following in the research's footsteps, the author structured the book accordingly. The topics presented are interleaved, and early subjects are reviewed again in later chapters.
The book finishes with a more hands-on chapter, summarising and referencing earlier chapters for more in-depth details.
Of interest, the reader may also find various use cases from real-world businesses and learners that have successfully applied research-based ways of learning.
I would have liked to have more practical examples, tools, and techniques for mastering my memory, nonetheless, the book was satisfactory as it was. The overall impression the book left me was of a layman's instruction manual into human memory, redirecting readers interested in more advanced and practical applications to additional reading. ( )
