Summary

Learning Through Practice argues that actively engaging with material through hands-on practice and experiential learning is crucial for effective knowledge acquisition and long-term memory retention. The book explores the cognitive and educational psychology behind why "doing" solidifies understanding more effectively than passive methods. Did you know that kinesthetic learning, which involves physical activity, can significantly enhance memory encoding? Or that immediate application of knowledge boosts motivation and strengthens neural pathways? The book uniquely integrates theoretical insights from psychology and education, providing educators with a framework for incorporating experiential learning into classrooms with practical strategies and examples. 

 
Beginning with foundational concepts like active recall and embodied cognition, it progresses through the psychological basis of learning by doing, evaluations of various experiential learning models, and practical applications across educational settings. This approach emphasizes active participation over traditional rote memorization, a vital shift considering the need for adaptability in today's world. 

 
The book's exploration of active learning highlights its impact on cognitive development, memory retention, and curriculum development. By examining empirical studies and case studies, Learning Through Practice offers a guide for educators and learners alike to implement active learning strategies and educational techniques. Ultimately, it advocates for a move towards educational models that prioritize engagement and hands-on practice.

    An award-winning psychologist and director of the UCLA Center for Digital Behavior shows everyone how to make real, lasting change in their lives in this exciting work of popular psychology that goes beyond The Power of Habit with science and practical strategies that can alter their problem behaviors—forever. 
Whether it’s absent-minded mistakes at work, a weakness for junk food, a smart phone addiction, or a lack of exercise, everyone has some bad habit or behavior that they’d like to change. But wanting to change and actually doing it—and sticking with it—are two very different things. 
Dr. Sean Young, an authoritative new voice in the field of behavioral science, knows a great deal about our habits—how we make them and how we can break them. Stick with It is his fascinating look at the science of behavior, filled with crucial knowledge and practical advice to help everyone successfully alter their actions and improve their lives. 
As Dr. Young explains, you don’t change behavior by changing the person, you do it by changing the process. Drawing on his own scientific research and that of other leading experts in the field, he explains why change can be difficult and identifies the crucial forces that combine to make transformation permanent, from the right way to create new habits to how to harness emotional meaning to motivate change. He also helps us understand how the mind often interferes with creating lasting change and how we can outsmart it, including using ""neurohacks"" to shortcut the brain’s counterproductive instincts. In addition he provides a powerful corrective to the decades old science of habits, offering a next generation discussion of how habits can change behavior with the right approach. 
Packed with pragmatic exercises and stories of real people who have used them successfully, Stick with It shows that it is possible to control spending, stick to a diet, become more social, exercise regularly, stop compulsively checking e-mail, and overcome problem behaviors—forever.

    A Rare Recording of Navajo Code...

    Dan Akee was part of the Navajo code talker units of the US Marine Corps that relayed radio and phone messages in their native dialect during World War II operations.
 
The method was fast and indecipherable to enemy eavesdroppers, as Navajo is an unwritten language of extreme complexity - with its syntax, tonal qualities, and various dialects - making it unintelligible to anyone without extensive exposure and training. It has no alphabet or symbols, and is spoken only on the Navajo lands of the American Southwest. By one estimate, at the time of World War II, the Navajo language was understood by fewer than 30 non-Navajos.
 
Approximately 400 Navajo code talkers took part in every assault the US Marines conducted in the Pacific from 1942 to 1945. They served in all six Marine divisions, Marine Raider battalions, and Marine parachute units, transmitting messages by telephone and radio in their native language. The code was never broken by the Japanese, and its security has been credited with contributing significantly to the capture of Iwo Jima in 1945.
 
The following are two recordings from code talker Dan Akee.

    Flowers were chosen as symbols for many reasons. The great variety of flora made it possible to find some plant or flower which would be a suitable figure for nearly any abstract quality or condition. A plant might be chosen because of some myth connected with its origin, as the stories of Daphne and Narcissus; because of the peculiar environment in which it thrived, as the orchid and the fungus; because of its significant shape, as the passion flower and the Easter lily; because of its brilliance or fragrance, as the verbena and the sweet lavender; because it preserved its form indefinitely, as the everlasting flower; because of unusual characteristics as the sunflower and heliotrope, which have long been sacred because of their affinity for the sun.
