emilowk 's review for:
Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning
by Henry L. Roediger, Mark A. McDaniel, Peter C. Brown
It has some enjoyable parts, but it also has a lot of rubbish.
Somehow it got learning styles right (it's bullshit), but then follow up with a glorification of Robert Sternberg's triarchic intelligence model (fringe theory with no notable empirical support). And then mention a learning style of its own (“rule learner” or “example learner,”). Weird!
Also goes full into Ericsson style 10k hours of dedicated practice, repeating typical anti-genetics claims. No mention of g factor of course.
Read the review upon this book is mostly based: https://doi.org/10.1177/1529100612453266
Curious omission is mastery learning. Seemingly does not fit with interleaved practice, but has decent evidence support. https://scholar.google.dk/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&as_ylo=2010&q=%22mastery+learning%22+%22randomized%22
Somewhat useful as a general introduction with some stories for entertainment, but check sources for stuff that sounds fishy.
