The Learning Brain by Thad A. Polk
4.0
Instructor Thad Polk is a professor of psychology with the University of Michigan. His other Great Courses include the Addictive Brain and the Aging Brain.
If you like the Great Courses, and you’re interested in this subject (cognitive psychology), than you will like this course.
I actually think everyone should have exposure to this material. It dispels horribly damaging myths and intuitions about learning that make people wast time and feel frustrated when they work hard for poor learning outcomes. Additionally, the course explains learning and study practices that actually work.
It’s worth it for that alone.
