  abstract: Despite the many theories about how we learn, most people study for exams using what they assume is "the right way." Yet the learning sciences field has recently made major discoveries about how the brain learns, and some of them are downright counterintuitive. Have we been spending too much time on ineffective ways to learn? In this report, author Connie Missimer ( Critical Thinking at Work ) explores three main areas: mapping what you want to learn (using two different methods), finding ways to locate the best-supported information, and learning how to evaluate the information. You'll also look at ways to present what you've learned using approaches to persuade your listeners. Take a quick pretest to discover your assumptions about effective learning Find out why Lazy Laura's study habits are more effective than those used by Griselda the Grinder Understand focused and diffused thinking and quiz yourself on the differences Practice two powerful learning techniques: associations and the Zeigarnik effect Be positive with the truth when presenting and learn the value of procrastinating as you prepare Channel Lazy Laura and take a whirlwind tour through counterintuitive findings
