About this book

Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning is a book about how people actually learn, by Peter C. Brown, Henry L. Roediger III and Mark A. McDaniel. The authors, a writer and two cognitive psychologists, review research that challenges common study habits such as rereading and cramming. They explain why techniques such as testing yourself, spacing practice over time, and mixing different kinds of problems, which feel harder in the moment, lead to longer-lasting knowledge. The book explains these ideas with examples from classrooms, medicine, sport and the military and gives advice to students, teachers and anyone who wants to keep learning throughout life.

About the author

Peter C. Brown

Make It Stick was written with two cognitive scientists, Henry Roediger and Mark McDaniel, and its argument is that the study techniques students trust most are the least effective. Rereading and massed practice feel productive because they are fluent.
