Brief Biographical Sketch:
I'm a current Princeton graduate student interested in how and when people learn. My current work seeks to understand explicit strategies in skill learning; my prior work investigated more traditional learning of facts and concepts. Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)S529: Learning Learning-Theory in Splash Spring 2018 (Apr. 21, 2018)
Can you spend less time studying and still learn the same amount? Scientists have discovered a number of ways to speed learning and boost memory. In this class, you will learn how to improve your own class performance using techniques backed by science. We will investigate a few learning tools and the pioneering experiments that lead to their discovery.
Sample topics: recall practice effects, spacing effects, the generation effect, transfer of learning
