ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Is intelligence fixed and predetermined by genes? Is fun a distraction that should just be used as a reward after learning? Learning styles aren’t really as effective as they appear to be and misconceptions are more difficult to overcome than you might think. In this podcast episode, PhD student Katherine Langford https://fass.open.ac.uk/psychology/phd-student/katherine-langford#ou-org discusses four misconceptions about learning with interviews from Emily Dowdeswell from the RUMPUS research group https://wels.open.ac.uk/rumpus and Dr Liz FitzGerald https://iet.open.ac.uk/people/elizabeth.fitzgerald.
