Produktbeschreibung
LAHEY IS LEARNING. Ben Lahey, respected researcher and author, helps students succeed in mastering the basics of psychology through engaging writing and a proven learning system. Lahey’s Psychology incorporates multiple features that psychological research shows increases learning while improving memory. Each part begins with a visual outline of the information in that part of the book. Every chapter begins with an advance organizer that tells students what the chapter will cover in general terms. Each chapter’s main section ends with a review for cognitive enhancement, a self-quiz to check the learning of facts, and critical thinking questions to encourage deep processing to improve memory. Chapters end with a hierarchical outline to remind students of the conceptual organization of the information. In short, the advance organizers tell students what they are going to learn, the text teaches them, and the reviews remind them of what they have learned and allow students to check on their learning. This is an approach you can trust your students will learn from effectively!
