How We Learn

By
Fascinating review of How We Learn by leading New York Times Health and Scientist columnist Benedict Carey.


Just like the Make It Stick (being applied by Wash U EM right now), this book will hopefully become a game changer for students and teachers across disciplines. Throw out what your highlighters and what you thought you new about learning. Welcome to frequent breaks, percolation, interleaving, mixing skills and environments, overcoming the fluency illusion, and sleep. Citing decades of research, the book provides an evidence based review of how we can make learning fun again. Perfect way to rejuvenate your curricula for next year.

How many ridiculous multiple choice exams do we have in education, especially medical education today? What does passing really mean? As a practicing clinician, bedside educator, and writer of such tests, I know first hand that yesterday's rites of passage have little external validity to patient care.
