Bjork Learning and Forgetting Lab

Studies address issues of transfer-appropriate and material-appropriate processing between encoding and retrieval. Applying tests in order to enhance learning and determining the desirable amount and timing of feedback regarding an individual’s memory performance are methods that are currently under investigation. The overlying theme of “desirable difficulties,” first introduced by Robert Bjork (1994), is also explored through manipulations in the spacing of learning events and the study schedule produced by interleaving various to-be-learned items, such as English-Swahili translated word pairs or prose materials. This line of work is also directed toward understanding the mechanisms behind metacognitive awareness of learning. Table of Contents I. II. R. V.

Servez les êtres humains avec compassion, et si votre but est de contribuer à leur bien-être et que vous faites cela de plein gré, cela rencontrera alors votre besoin de contribuer, et quand nous donnons de cette manière là, il devient très difficile et très subtil en fait, de dire qui donne et qui reçoit.

Investigating habits: strategies, technologies and models

In early thinking in psychology, much of behavior was framed in terms of lack of mindfulness, and this mode of behavior was considered as habitual. This was, and remains, a straightforward and intuitive way of thinking. This line of thinking was convolved with the classic reflex arcs of Sherrington and his students, the ubiquity of habits emphasized by William James, the “law of effect” of Thorndike, the formalized drive theory of Hull, and with the general behaviorist research tradition.

As a consequence, many aspects of animal behavior were viewed in terms of sensory inputs and movement outputs linked by what we would now call neural networks (James, 1890; Thorndike, 1898; Sherrington, 1906; Hull, 1943). In other fields, also, there has been pushback against the idea that animals other than humans behave without some form of mindfulness.

Greater Good in Action. The science of influencing people: six ways to win an argument. “I am quite sure now that often, very often, in matters of religion and politics a man’s reasoning powers are not above the monkey’s,” wrote Mark Twain.

The science of influencing people: six ways to win an argument

Having written a book about our most common reasoning errors, I would argue that Twain was being rather uncharitable – to monkeys. Whether we are discussing Trump, Brexit, or the Tory leadership, we have all come across people who appear to have next to no understanding of world events – but who talk with the utmost confidence and conviction. And the latest psychological research can now help us to understand why. Consider the “illusion of explanatory depth”. When asked about government policies and their consequences, most people believe that they could explain their workings in great detail. Besides being less substantial than we think, our knowledge is also highly selective: we conveniently remember facts that support our beliefs and forget others.

Politics can also scramble our critical thinking skills. Ask ‘how’ rather than ‘why’
