Summary:

"While preserving the elements that have made the previous two editions so successful-such as chapters on sleep, exercise, memory and mindset-this third edition introduces students to wholly new aspects of brain function and how they impact learning; and furthermore, addresses the challenges of learning online. By introducing new concepts, strategies, and applications related to learning and memory that are based on current findings in cognitive, social, and motivational psychology, this text offers a richer and more complete picture of how brain science illuminates how we learn"-- Provided by publisher.
