"A . . . guide to improve teaching based on . . . research in neuroscience"--Provided by publisher.

"A book for learners of all ages containing the best and most updated advice on learning from neuroscience and cognitive psychology . . . Through their decades of writing, teaching, and research on learning, the authors have developed deep connections with experts from a vast array of disciplines. And it's all honed with feedback from thousands of students who have themselves gone through the trenches of learning. Successful learners gradually add tools and techniques to their mental toolbox, and they think critically about their learning to determine when and how to best use their mental tools. That allows these learners to make the best use of their brains, whether those brains seem 'naturally' geared toward learning or not. This book will teach you how you can do the same"--Provided by publisher.
