Took a little winter road trip and listened to @Grandaddy's terrific new album, Blu Wav, on repeat. @jasonlytle and crew have done it again! Cheers from Bozeman

Sad to hear of the passing of Endel Tulving. He had a MASSIVE impact on the scientific study of human memory and paved the way for so many in the field, including myself.

Endel Tulving’s 90th birthday celebration with @RosenbaumLab and some other friends.

New Today Article Review: Pretesting Enhances Learning in the Classroom  An article review of a study looking at the impact of pretesting on student attention, self-regulated study, and learning. theeffortfuleducator.com/2023/09/08/art… @NickSoderstrom


To all my fellow educators: Elizabeth Bjork and I just published a CLASSROOM STUDY showing that students' learning can profit *significantly* from short, low-stakes pretests (given right before lectures). Questions/comments are always welcome! rdcu.be/dlqsE

HUGELY excited that we can finally reveal this gamechanging resource for KS3 science. Every week, a different head of science or senior leader calls me asking for help with KS3 resourced. Springboard Science is the answer. Read on for why it's just so revolutionary: >

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH (This is why I've been so busy recently)

Hi all! I've started a PARENT SERIES collection to provide parents with general advice (based on cog psych) to help their children succeed in school and beyond. My first installment: Teach Your Child to See Challenges and Failures as Opportunities link.medium.com/ObjM3Onp7zb

Thrilled to unveil John Dunlosky and my take on a digestible cog science. Not just WHAT to do but HOW and Why. Pragmatic, student-centered. May your students enjoy it, benefit, and become more effective learners. @TeachPsych @STP_ECP @APA_Books @APAEducation @PODNetworkHQ

Congratulations to Robert Bjork for being elected to the National Academy of Sciences! An incredible achievement by an incredible person.

I present to you Jon Bon Beetlejuice 😂 (because someone had to do it!)


This is really nice! One thing I'd add is that interleaving--when in the form of math problems, for example--gets students to CHOOSE the appropriate strategy, rather than simply execute it. BLOCKING = executing; INTERLEAVING = choosing + executing

Nice, simple and informative graphic from @Inner_Drive on why interleaving works.

When watching American sporting events, it's not uncommon to hear a commentator react to a well-executed skill by saying, "You can't teach that." This is, of course, an argument for innate talent. It's also so wrong that it doesn't even rise to the level of being false.
