Smart Study Guide Psychological Techniques for Student Success

Many people engage in formal study without knowing how to learn effectively. This interactive book provides students with innovative and smart ways of making their study more effective, and shows them how to tailor their study techniques to their own particular learning style and psychological make-up. Drawing on the latest research into learning, memory, and information processing, the book addresses key questions, such as: What is meant by multiple intelligences? What is your preferred learning style? How can others help you to learn? Do you adopt the appropriate reading strategy? What is critical thinking and why is it important? The principles laid out in the book are suitable for use in the classroom, or in distance, online, or blended learning environments. The text is laid out in an attractive style, and includes questionnaires, activities, key learning points, illustrations, diagrams, flow charts, and mindmaps.Tamblin, Louise is the author of 'Smart Study Guide Psychological Techniques for Student Success', published 2006 under ISBN 9781405121170 and ISBN 1405121173.
