How learning science informs, and optimises teaching and learning strategies



'..... comparisons of people’s memories for words with their memories for pictures of the same objects show a superiority effect for pictures. The superiority effect of pictures is also true if words and pictures are combined during learning (Roediger, 1997).' quoted in Chapter 5: Mind and Brain, in How People Learn Brain, Mind, Experience, and School

'..... experts have acquired extensive knowledge that affects what they notice and how they organize, represent, and interpret information in their environment. This, in turn, affects their abilities to remember, reason, and solve problems.' quoted in Chapter 2: How experts differ from novices, in How People Learn Brain, Mind, Experience, and School
