Résumé :Comment fonctionne le cerveau d'un élève ? Commentaire : Voilà un livre particulièrement intéressant. Dans ce livre, l’auteur nous livre les dernières découvertes en psychologie cognitive, qui sont toutes en faveur de l’enseignement explicite. La traductrice a fait un effort pour adapter intelligemment les propos de Willingham au contexte français. Mais l'intérêt du travail de Daniel Willingham l'emporte et, sans hésitation aucune, je recommande la lecture de cet ouvrage aux professionnels de l’enseignement. Multitasking.wmv. What people know about the cost of multitasking. Researchers emphasize there are very few circumstances in which you can do two things at once without cost (relative to doing each on its own). Yet some drivers sneak a look at their phone while on the road, and some students have the television playing while they complete an assignment.Why? One possibility is that they don't understand the cost of multi-tasking very well.

A new study (Finley, Benjamin, and McCarley, 2014) investigated that possibility.Subjects initially practiced a tracking task: a small target moved erratically on a computer screen and the subject was to try to keep a mouse cursor atop it. Interleaved with practice on the tracking task, subjects practiced a standard auditory N-back task: they heard a series of digits (one every 2.4 seconds) and were asked to say whether the digits matched the one spoken 2 digits earlier (or in other versions of the task, 1 digit or 3 digits earlier). The diagonal shows perfect prediction Subjects were not just wildly guessing. Learning Styles Don't Exist. Re: Learning Styles Don't Exist. Is Teaching an Art or a Science?.wmv.
