Title: Memory - basic to the learning process
Review: This book emphasizes the essential connection between research in cognitive neuroscience and designing effective teaching methods. "Brain compatible teaching works." The book explains seven steps of the learning/memory cycle. Through out the book, important concepts are conveniently labeled as mental notes and are placed in boxed off areas. The book is easy to read and even though it contain terms such as: working memory; visual/spatial intelligence; mind mapping; episodic pathways; procedural memory; and metacognition, it is very applicable to classroom teaching. Appendix A "Brain Briefing" offers an excellent review of basic brain function.
