In the tradition of The Power of Habit and Thinking, Fast and Slow comes a practical, playful, and endlessly fascinating guide to what we really know about learning and memory today—and how we can apply it to our own lives.
From an early age, it is drilled into our heads: Restlessness, distraction, and ignorance are the enemies of success. We’re told that learning is all self-discipline, that we must confine ourselves to designated study areas, turn off the music, and maintain a strict ritual if we want to ace that test, memorize that presentation, or nail that piano recital.
But what if almost everything we were told about learning is wrong? And what if there was a way to achieve more with less effort?
In How We Learn, award-winning science reporter Benedict Carey sifts through decades of education research and landmark studies to uncover the truth about how our brains absorb and retain information. What he discovers is that, from the moment we are born, we are all learning quickly, efficiently, and automatically; but in our zeal to systematize the process we have ignored valuable, naturally enjoyable learning tools like forgetting, sleeping, and daydreaming. Is a dedicated desk in a quiet room really the best way to study? Can altering your routine improve your recall? Are there times when distraction is good? Is repetition necessary? Carey’s search for answers to these questions yields a wealth of strategies that make learning more a part of our everyday lives—and less of a chore.
By road testing many of the counterintuitive techniques described in this book, Carey shows how we can flex the neural muscles that make deep learning possible. Along the way he reveals why teachers should give final exams on the first day of class, why it’s wise to interleave subjects and concepts when learning any new skill, and when it’s smarter to stay up late prepping for that presentation than to rise early for one last cram session. And if this requires some suspension of disbelief, that’s because the research defies what we’ve been told, throughout our lives, about how best to learn.
The brain is not like a muscle, at least not in any straightforward sense. It is something else altogether, sensitive to mood, to timing, to circadian rhythms, as well as to location and environment. It doesn’t take orders well, to put it mildly. If the brain is a learning machine, then it is an eccentric one. In How We Learn, Benedict Carey shows us how to exploit its quirks to our advantage.
Benedict Carey is an award-winning science reporter who has been at The New York Times since 2004, and one of the newspaper’s most emailed reporters. He graduated from the University of Colorado with a bachelor’s degree in math and from Northwestern University with a master’s in journalism, and has written about health and science for twenty-five years. He lives in New York City.
我觉得点都特别好,但是做一个Brief就很好了,为什么要搞的这么臭又长?

评分作者主要描写了自己的经历,引用了大量的实验,但缺少方法。
评分Ignorance, distraction, interruption, forgetfulness, restlessness & even quitting can work in our favor!It's a mind-blowing book with brilliant, insightful & inspiring ideas! It's like I've dug upon goldmine! A must-read for everyone!
评分挺颠覆的一本书。有很多learning strategy虽然平时都在使用,但并不了解原理。感觉在读了之后会有意无意去尝试这些方法来辅助学习。Benefit a lot!
如果说中国是世界上第二重视学习的国家,我真不知道哪国是第一。 不过,我们虽然重视学习,可是似乎更看重勤奋,而不太重视学习如何学习。 上周我读了十多本市面上流行的学习类书籍。说句实话,相当比例的书籍,读完之后并没有太多收获。很多书籍都是根据个人经验,提出一个核...
评分 评分大脑是个“电影摄制组”,不妨把大脑的各个区域看作电影摄制组的工作人员。—本尼迪克特·凯里 有人会发自内心喜欢学校么?有!已经工作的人,因为他们不用再去学校了。虽然我们不用再去学校了,但我们还不能停止学习,不然跟不上形势要被炒鱿鱼。好消息是,我们不用像在学校里...
评分 评分不认同一部分人说的全书内容啰嗦、把一页纸就能写清楚的东西扯了一本书之类的观点。 在我看来,这种观点只能证明自己是一个浮躁的读者,以脑科学和认知心理学等专业领域几十年的实验原理为基础而编写的这本书,试问怎能在一页纸内说清楚?就算可以用通俗而精炼的语言总结在一页...
