Desirable Difficulties: Using Hormesis to Learn More Effectively - Todd Becker (AHS21)

The internet and digital devices have broadened access to information. But have they improved our ability to learn and comprehend? Paradoxically, the very ease of information technology can make it harder to retain information and learn new skills. Modern agriculture and medical technology have lifted millions out of poverty, but over-nutrition and sedentary living have saddled us with chronic diseases. In previous talks I’ve discussed how hormesis -- the judicious application of beneficial stress -- can improve health. Can hormesis also be applied to enhance learning? There is evidence that making learning more challenging in specific ways can make it more effective. This talk will draw upon studies in educational psychology to demonstrate how you can better retain what you read, hear and watch. Hormesis can also help you learn new skills in areas as diverse as sports, music, and design, as well as rehabilitate lost function in movement or vision.
