Mark McDaniel, psicólogo de Harvard: “Aprender sin esfuerzo es como escribir en la arena: hoy está y mañana ya no”
Full story
Harvard psychologist Mark McDaniel and two colleagues wrote a book called Make it stick. They argue that highlighting text and rereading materials can create a false feeling of mastery. Instead, they suggest that learners should try to remember information without looking at their notes. He compares effortless learning to writing in sand because the knowledge quickly disappears.
Junto a otros dos colegas, asegura en el libro Make it stick que técnicas como releer y subrayar pueden dar una falsa sensación de dominio; contrariamente, recomienda intentar recordar sin consultar los apuntes
