Learn Faster and Remember More
By Sheila NorgateDrawing from the most recent neurological research, this guide translates these findings into techniques, exercises, and self-tests that are designed to stimulate learning and memory retention skills from infancy to old age. Practical insights into the way the brain develops are provided, including what newborns respond to and what a child can understand when-with specific references to the "Mozart Effect" controversy and self-consciousness in the terrible twos. Explained are such hot topics as why studying before sleep uses dreaming to file facts away, how to memorize a fact by using powers of imagination, and what to eat to keep brains alert after lunch.
