Improving Learning
Cognitive science has taught us a lot about how humans
learn. Now computer-based learning programs are putting
those principles into action and improving student gains.
In this article, found in the July/August APA Monitor on
Psychology, two goals will be accomplished. The first goal
is to identify some principles of learning that are grounded
in cognitive science. The second is to describe some
advanced learning environments that attempt to weave in
these principles and thereby improve education.

addictions.
