SEPTEMBER 7, 2010

STANDARD ADVICE ON GOOD STUDY HABITS turns out to be wrong. "In recent years, cognitive scientists have shown that a few simple techniques can reliably improve what matters most: how much a student learns from studying. The findings can help anyone, from a fourth grader doing long division to a retiree taking on a new language. But they directly contradict much of the common wisdom about good study habits, and they have not caught on."
