Cognitive science can be a bit hard to get a grip on. Text about the subject can often feel dense and hard to apply in educational settings.

Because of that, Teresa Sörö talks about how we can apply what we know about how we learn with Dr Holly Gooding, assistant professor in Pediatrics in Harvard Medical School and the author of Twelve tips for applying the science of learning to health professions education.

The talk covers Cognitive load theory, transfer of knowledge, interleaving, desirable difficulties and practical implications.
