I was given a copy of this book recently, and have devoured it! It walks through the brain science of why we forget – mostly due to bad study habits, and how to recall information – to Make it Stick. Approachable and relatable examples are used to present hard data – I was drawn in by the real life examples.
It did change my mind on testing: I was not a fan of testing for testing sake, however, the book makes some solid arguments that targeted testing has a strong impact on the brain and how it can aid in recall.
A great read!
