Cognition in Education

"Cognition in Education is a useful primer for both students and teachers about learning—how it happens and how to improve it. The authors have struck a good balance, with just enough theory to understand and appreciate the practical learning and study strategies and tips described. The chapter on comprehension is particularly helpful and rich with ideas and examples. I especially appreciated the included glossary—all in all, the book is a great resource and an appropriate supplement for many courses."

"Drs. McCrudden and McNamara have produced an excellent, clear, and concise description of human cognition. The book is eminently readable and explains sophisticated topics in an easy-to-understand style. It also includes an ample number of concrete, personalized examples that make the content engaging and even more understandable. The student perspective and teacher perspective sections, such as "Using Knowledge of Attention: Student Perspective," provide practical and real-world suggestions that can be immediately applied to learning and teaching. This is a fine piece of work, and I have cited it in several places in my own writing."
