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.

評分作者主要描寫瞭自己的經曆,引用瞭大量的實驗,但缺少方法。
評分大腦運作方式新解~~
評分書裏的建議比較簡單,就是盡量在不同的環境下,分多次學習 (在同一個自習室連續學三個小時效果不如分三天每天在不同的地方學一小時),另外保持充足的睡眠。但是書裏有非常多的研究成果,如果對這些心理學研究感興趣,推薦。如果隻是想看建議,找個綜述看看就好。

一本非常有用的书,值得推荐。 1.十几年来,首度动摇了我对“智商”这个概念的信任。我们的身边,聪明人比比皆是,这无可否认。如果把聪明定义成认知能力更强、记忆力更好(特别是知识提取能力更好),那么,这本书告诉你,它可能是天生的(书中主动回避了这个问题),但也极可...
評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...
評分因其薄而轻,这本书每次出差我都放在包里,在飞机上看一看,断续花了半年的时间才看完。本书是与学习相关的一系列脑科学研究成果的汇总,这些研究跨越了整个20世纪,涵盖了许多相当重要的发现,描述了一系列与普通人的直观感受不大相同的大脑学习机制。 与我们的感受不同,其...

評分上个月看完的这本书。总的来说有点失望,没有什么新的发现。作者是纽约时报跑科学与健康这条线的记者,书中的内容也是他十来年关注这个领域的成果,介绍的主要是认知科学与心理学方面的研究发现。认知科学特别是脑科学怎么搞,我不大知道,但心理学的研究是怎么做出来的,我还...
