Learning & cognition

Ideas and research about memory, attention, knowledge, cognition and how students learn — with a particular interest in what these findings actually mean inside a classroom.

Things I'm thinking about

01

How does what a student already knows change what they are able to learn?

02

What makes some information easier to remember than other information?

03

When do strategies such as retrieval practice actually help?

04

What does psychology tell us about attention, memory and cognitive load?
