Humanity's greatest feat is our incredible ability to learn. Even in their first year, infants acquire language, visual and social knowledge at a rate that surpasses the best supercomputers. But how, exactly, do our brains learn?In How We Learn, leading neuroscientist Stanislas Dehaene delves into the psychological, neuronal, synaptic and molecular mechanisms of learning. Drawing on case studies of children who learned despite huge difficulty and trauma, he explains why youth is such a sensitive period, during which brain plasticity is maximal, but also assures us that our abilities continue into adulthood. We can all enhance our learning and memory at any age and 'learn to learn' by taking maximal advantage of the four pillars of the brain's learning algorithm: attention, active engagement, error feedback and consolidation.The human brain is an extraordinary machine. Its ability to process information and adapt to circumstances by reprogramming itself is...
格拉斯哥大学发的一篇《学习 101》很有意思,主要教人们如何更好的学习。通过采用这些策略,学习者可以提高学习效率,增强知识的灵活性和长期保留。
作者详细介绍了七种学习障碍,并且每个类型都给出了多个补救的方法。
针对有效学习也给了更多建议,比如间隔学习、交错学习等学习方式。
你能获得:理解大脑的学习机制;掌握更有效的学习方法;提高学习效率。
A: 提高学习效率的关键在于专注、主动参与、及时反馈和巩固。排除干扰、积极思考、勇于提问、及时纠错、合理安排学习计划,劳逸结合,保证睡眠质量,这些都是有效提高学习效率的有效途径。
A: 家长应该给予孩子鼓励和支持,帮助他们树立信心。同时,家长应该引导孩子分析问题,找到问题的根源,并与孩子一起制定学习计划,循序渐进地克服困难。
A: 间隔重复能有效提高记忆效果。这是因为,间隔重复能有效降低遗忘曲线的下降速度,使知识在大脑中得到更长久的保存。
This book is for educators, parents, and anyone interested in understanding the science behind learning. It provides insights into how the brain learns and offers practical strategies for improving learning outcomes at any age. It is also relevant for those in artificial intelligence seeking to create more efficient learning algorithms.
The book addresses the historical debate of nature versus nurture, drawing parallels between computer science and neuroscience to understand how learning occurs. It challenges traditional empiricist views, highlighting the brain's innate capabilities and the importance of structured learning algorithms. It also reflects on the evolution of pedagogy and the role of education in maximizing brain potential.
