Assignment
Read the following Psychological Science article: Optimizing Learning in College: Tips from Cognitive Psychology. I wanted to start the course by reviewing an article with a real-world application. The authors will provide suggestions on how to approach taking courses in college. They rely on demonstrated principles from the Cognitive Psychology literature to inform readers about the best strategies to succeed in a course. This article should give you a feel for how the principles of cognitive psychology can be applied in the classroom. It will be useful for you to read the information in the textbook related to encoding, storage, and recall to produce a high quality primary post.
In your primary post, answer the following questions:
1. Why are strategies like highlighting (or underlining) as you read, and rereading your text and/or notes often ineffective for learning material?
2. Describe the read, recite, and review method. Why is this an effective method for remembering information from your textbook and/or lecture notes?
3. Based on the reading, why might a professor have a no laptop policy in the classroom?
4. Why are spaced practice and retrieval practice effective study strategies?
5. What strategies from this article do you think you could successfully implement in this course, or other courses?
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
3. Also include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
