Learning strategies: a synthesis and conceptual model

John Hattie, Gregory M. Donoghue · 9 Aug 2016

The purpose of this article is to explore a model of learning that proposes that various learning strategies are powerful at certain stages in the learning cycle. The model describes three inputs and outcomes (skill, will and thrill), success criteria, three phases of learning (surface, deep and transfer) and an acquiring and consolidation phase within…

Learning and memory under stress: implications for the classroom

Susanne Vogel, Lars Schwabe · 28 Jun 2016

Exams, tight deadlines and interpersonal conflicts are just a few examples of the many events that may result in high levels of stress in both students and teachers. Research over the past two decades identified stress and the hormones and neurotransmitters released during and after a stressful event as major modulators of human learning and…

Is plasticity of synapses the mechanism of long-term memory storage?

Wickliffe C. Abraham, Owen D. Jones, David L. Glanzman · 2 Jul 2019

It has been 70 years since Donald Hebb published his formalized theory of synaptic adaptation during learning. Hebb's seminal work foreshadowed some of the great neuroscientific discoveries of the following decades, including the discovery of long-term potentiation and other lasting forms of synaptic plasticity, and more recently the residence of memories in synaptically connected neuronal…

Sleep quality, duration, and consistency are associated with better academic performance in college students

Kana Okano, Jakub Kaczmarzyk, Neha Dave et al. · 1 Oct 2019

Although numerous survey studies have reported connections between sleep and cognitive function, there remains a lack of quantitative data using objective measures to directly assess the association between sleep and academic performance. In this study, wearable activity trackers were distributed to 100 students in an introductory college chemistry class (88 of whom completed the study),…
