One might think that people have an intuitive feel for how to learn. It turns out that this is not completely true. In fact, a lot of what people assume about learning is wrong.
In this video, Dr. Mark McDaniel (Washington University in St. Louis) discusses his book, Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning (co-authored by Peter Brown and Dr. Henry Roediger). He talks about common study techniques that people believe are effective (but are not) and offers advice on how to actually make learning stick.
