While preserving the elements that have made the previous two editions so successful-such as chapters on sleep, exercise, memory and mindset-this third edition introduces students to wholly new aspects of brain function and how they impact learning; and furthermore, addresses the challenges of learning online.By introducing new concepts, strategies, and applications related to learning and memory that are based on current findings in cognitive, social, and motivational psychology, this text offers a richer and more complete picture of how brain science illuminates how we learn. Students assigned this book will be equipped to design effective learning plans, employ new strategies, recognize learning traps, discover ways to work effectively in groups, improve recall, and realize better academic performance through test-taking and paper-writing strategies.This new edition also addresses the concerns of all students-particularly those unfamiliar with the college setting and its expectations and assumptions-and offers strategies for success. In keeping with the preceding editions, this book introduces students to concepts, techniques, strategies, tips, and ideas to help them be academically stronger students, advance faster in their studies, and demonstrate what they have learned more effectively-in short, how anyone can learn to be a better learner by learning how to learn in harmony with their brain.The book remains compact and student-friendly, offers examples of practice, and includes discussion questions at the end of each chapter.An instructor's manual is available for faculty.
