To most of us, learning something "the hard way" implies wasted time and effort. Good teaching, we believe, should be creatively tailored to the different learning styles of students and should use strategies that make learning easier. Make It Stick turns fashionable ideas like these on their head. Drawing on recent discoveries in cognitive psychology and other disciplines, the authors offer concrete techniques for becoming more productive learners.

Memory plays a central role in our ability to carry out complex cognitive tasks, such as applying knowledge to problems never before encountered and drawing inferences from facts already known. New insights into how memory is encoded, consolidated, and later retrieved have led to a better understanding of how we learn. Grappling with the impediments that make learning challenging leads both to more complex mastery and better retention of what was learned.

Many common study habits and practice routines turn out to be counterproductive. Underlining and highlighting, rereading, cramming, and single-minded repetition of new skills create the illusion of mastery, but gains fade quickly. More complex and durable learning come from self-testing, introducing certain difficulties in practice, waiting to re-study new material until a little forgetting has set in, and interleaving the practice of one skill or topic with another. Speaking most urgently to students, teachers, trainers, and athletes, Make It Stick will appeal to all those interested in the challenge of lifelong learning and self-improvement.

读后感

本书提到的重要学习策略我总结为：学而时习之。 学（提取练习：识别、关联和总结）而时（间隔）习（阐释）之。 有效持久的学习要求 1. 我们必须通过重新编码和巩固新材料来牢固地锚定它们，从而把短期记忆转变为长期记忆 2. 我们必须用一组多样的线索与材料联系起来，从而...  

每次看到这类书总是情不自禁地要拿来翻阅一遍，这次是收获挺多，直接上干货。 从笔记本上把笔记再倒腾到豆瓣，也是蛮累的，真爱了。 正确的阅读顺序，建议是直接从第八章开始读，所有策略都有提及，绝不含糊。看过第八章，再根据需要翻阅前面章节的案例，增强理解和逻辑说服力...  

用户评价

discipline, grit, perseverance 这些比天赋重要得多。读最后一章具体的 techniques 便可知道这书的主要内容，前面章节都是作者填充的生动事例。讲故事的水平不错，引人入胜，又让人跃跃欲试书中推崇的方法。至于方法，核心便是要active learning，retrieval practice， self quizzes 比 rereading 高效得多。和之前看过的33篇 quora 的回答吻合，可以当做 learning to learn 的系统总结。需要实践，可行化，接下来的注会备考就要尽量用上。

关于学习的学习，理应多花些功夫

直接从第8章“Make it Stick"开始看了就好了，详述的地方作者都link上了之前每章的内容，需要精读再回跳，例证和研究过程实在太多。另外实在想不起来为什么mark这本书了。。对我影响很一般，基本已经是用了很多年的方法

介绍的technique简单实际，马上应用一下看看效果如何。

好书
