Abstract

Ons concentratievermogen neemt af. In de VS kunnen tieners zich nog maar negentien seconden lang op een taak focussen, kantoormedewerkers drie minuten. Bestsellerauteur Johann Hari sprak vooraanstaande wetenschappers en experts en ontdekte dat alles wat we over dit onderwerp dachten te weten niet klopt. Hij vertelt hoe we – als individuen én als maatschappij – onze focus terug kunnen krijgen, mits we ervoor willen vechten. Alleen door de aandachtscrisis op te lossen, stelt Hari, kunnen we de focus vinden om een betere samenleving op te bouwen.

Abstract

We've all asked, "What is the world coming to?" But we seldom ask, "How bad was the world in the past?" Cognitive scientist Steven Pinker shows that the past was much worse. Evidence of a bloody history has always been around us: genocides in the Old Testament, gory mutilations in Shakespeare and Grimm, monarchs who beheaded their relatives, and American founders who dueled with their rivals. The murder rate in medieval Europe was more than thirty times what it is today. Slavery, sadistic punishments, and frivolous executions were common features of life for millennia, then were suddenly abolished. How could this have happened, if human nature has not changed? Pinker argues that thanks to the spread of government, literacy, trade, and cosmopolitanism, we increasingly control our impulses, empathize with others, debunk toxic ideologies, and deploy our powers of reason to reduce the temptations of violence.

Abstract

La situation est inédite. Jamais, dans l'histoire de l'humanité, nous n'avons disposé d'autant d'informations et jamais nous n'avons eu autant de temps libre pour y puiser loisir et connaissance du monde. Nos prédécesseurs en avaient rêvé : la science et la technologie libéreraient l'humanité. Mais ce rêve risque désormais de tourner au cauchemar. Le déferlement d'informations a entraîné une concurrence généralisée de toutes les idées, une dérégulation du « marché cognitif » qui a une fâcheuse conséquence : capter, souvent pour le pire, le précieux trésor de notre attention. Nos esprits subissent l'envoûtement des écrans et s'abandonnent aux mille visages de la déraison. Victime d'un pillage en règle, notre esprit est au coeur d'un enjeu dont dépend notre avenir. Ce contexte inquiétant dévoile certaines des aspirations profondes de l'humanité. L'heure de la confrontation avec notre propre nature aurait-elle sonné ? De la façon dont nous réagirons dépendront les possibilités d'échapper à ce qu'il faut bien appeler une menace civilisationnelle. C'est le récit de cet enjeu historique que propose le nouveau livre événement de Gérald Bronner

Abstract

"To most of us, learning something "the hard way" implies wasted time and effort. Good teaching, we believe, should be creatively tailored to the different learning styles of students and should use strategies that make learning easier. Make It Stick turns fashionable ideas like these on their head. Drawing on recent discoveries in cognitive psychology and other disciplines, the authors offer concrete techniques for becoming more productive learners. Memory plays a central role in our ability to carry out complex cognitive tasks, such as applying knowledge to problems never before encountered and drawing inferences from facts already known. New insights into how memory is encoded, consolidated, and later retrieved have led to a better understanding of how we learn. Grappling with the impediments that make learning challenging leads both to more complex mastery and better retention of what was learned. Many common study habits and practice routines turn out to be counterproductive. Underlining and highlighting, rereading, cramming, and single-minded repetition of new skills create the illusion of mastery, but gains fade quickly. More complex and durable learning come from self-testing, introducing certain difficulties in practice, waiting to re-study new material until a little forgetting has set in, and interleaving the practice of one skill or topic with another. Speaking most urgently to students, teachers, trainers, and athletes, Make It Stick will appeal to all those interested in the challenge of lifelong learning and self-improvement." -- Publisher's description.
