What is the best way to study? Are we intuitively already using the most successful learning strategies? What does research in Cognitive Psychology (an area that – among other things – investigates how our memory works) suggest and what are practical implications that we can use to inform our learning and teaching? In this talk, Carolina will provide an overview of the most promising learning strategies – all tried and tested over many years, many experiments, and in different settings. She will give an overview of the implications of these findings, discuss why changing one’s study habits is so difficult, and offer ideas on how to motivate an adoption of successful study habits.
