Yet evidence suggests that most of us dont use the learning techniques that science has proved the most effective. The scienti

17、fic literature evaluating these techniques goes back to decades and across thousands of articles. Its far too extensive and complex for the average parent, teacher or employer to look through. Fortunately, a team of five leading psychologists have done the job for us. Professor John Dunlosky and oth

37、.The trip, though only a distance of about 25 feet, seemed to take a long while. Rosemary arrived at the door to the guest room. It stood slightly open, and she looked through the opening.
