Overview
What you will study
This Learning and memory in the brain course offered by University of Cambridge will examine the way the brain changes from child to teenager to adult, and how these affect the way we learn and remember information. By understanding more about the way memories are stored and recalled, we can explore different ways to help improve this process, at any stage of our lives.
The study of how learning happens in the brain is a popular emerging field, but it is filled with misinformation. The course will tackle common misconceptions and look at ways in which we can use our understanding of the brain, as well as the tricks psychological research has uncovered, to help everyone learn more quickly and efficiently. We will finish with a practical session covering memory tricks and exercises anyone can use to learn and remember information more effectively.

The program focuses on:
- Know what happens in the brain when we learn.
- Recall what psychological studies have taught us about learning & memory, and their limits.
