Learning how to learn

On Your Marks, Series three, Episode six: Learning how to learn Sometimes it can feel like no matter how many times you go over study materials, it just feels impossible to really get to grips with it. Turns out, there are tips and tricks to learning that can help us all - from memorising a formula to feeling comfortable with a complicated policy. This week we speak to New York Times best-selling author Professor Barbara Oakley. We cover what is actually happening in our brains when we learn something, and how we can use that knowledge to adapt our revision strategies to better retain complex information. Plus, how learning a language and learning how to do maths are actually more similar than you might first think.  This is On Your Marks.
