Studies on the Redundancy Principle and how it inhibits learning
In this video, from our Teaching Masterclass: The Psychology of Learning course, we're going to look at a couple of super interesting experiments demonstrating this principle, and a handy rule of thumb that'll improve the quality of your teaching by 1000x.
How the Redundancy Principle inhibits learning
Bullet points are one of the worst teaching sins you can commit in a presentation. Why? It's an example of the Redundancy Principle in action. In this video, you'll discover what this Principle means and why most medical presentations are actually anti-learning as a result.
The role of working memory in learning
