"This text is designed to serve as a primary text for teaching the
science of studying to university and other students. 'Improving
Memory and Study Skills' is based on the latest research, including
that of the authors, on how students study, learn and remember. The
authors collectively have over 100 years of experience in teaching
and research about how students can learn more efficiently. This text
presents both the rationale and the methods that have led to a new
and successful multimodal approach to developing memory and study
skills. Not only is the book full of practical recommendations for
both teaching and learning these skills. In addition the scientific
reasons for the suggested procedures are clearly laid out, and the
explanations in turn are grounded in practical examples." -- BOOK
