How is technology changing the way people remember? This book explores the interplay of memory stored in the brain (internal memory) and outside of the brain (external memory), providing a thorough interdisciplinary review of the current literature, including relevant theoretical frameworks from across a variety of disciplines in the sciences, arts, and humanities. It also presents the findings of a rich and novel empirical data set, based on a comprehensive survey on the shifting interplay of internal and external memory in the 21st century. Results reveal a growing symbiosis between the two forms of memory in our everyday lives. The book presents a new theoretical framework for understandi...
The Oxford Handbook of Metamemory investigates the human ability to evaluate and control learning and information retrieval processes. Each chapter in this authoritative guide highlights a different facet of metamemory research, including classical metamemory judgments; applications of metamemory research to the classroom and courtroom; and cutting-edge perspectives on continuing debates and theory. Chapters also provide broad historical overviews of each research area and discussions of promising directions for future research. The breadth and depth of coverage on offer in this Handbook make it ideal for seminars on metamemory or metacognition. It would also be a valuable supplement for advanced courses on cognitive psychology, of use especially to graduate students and more seasoned researchers who are interested in exploring metamemory for the first time.
English summary: As a result of his own personal circumstances, the work of Adelbert von Chamisso combines a large number of contradictory life designs, weltanschauung, and literary styles, as well as a confusing abundance of social environments and literary fields. Over a long period of time Chamissos intellectual orientation was erratic and roaming: at first he was a romantic- idealist, then he emerged again, somewhat enlightened, in the form of a romantic poet and an empirical natural scientist, who after his success as a writer of prose returned to writing verse: he organized the production of a poetry periodical and then suddenly became a critic of the Vormarz poets. Defying all attempt...

Do I Have Your Attention? explores memory processing, how students learn, and offers practical guidance to help teachers tailor their instruction to be the most efficient and effective for learning. Drawing on evidence from cognitive science, Part I offers an easy-to-understand explanation of the process of memory and highlights certain barriers that hinder students’ ability to learn. Part II introduces over a century of research into two widely applicable learning strategies and, drawing on the author’s extensive teaching experience, demonstrates a plethora of classroom applications that maximize learning while working within the known constraints of human memory. Part of The InnerDrive Teacher CPD Academy series that offers a deep dive into the key areas that matter to teachers, this is essential reading for all teachers and school leaders who want evidence-based strategies which focus on impact in the classroom in sustainable and meaningful ways.
Alexander von Humboldt gehört um 1810 zu den bekanntesten Wissenschaftlern der Welt. Sein Ruhm beruht in hohem Maß auf seiner Amerikanischen Reise (1799–1804). Seit dem Ankauf der Amerikanischen Reisetagebücher durch die Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz im Jahr 2013 hat die Humboldt-Forschung auf verschiedenen Ebenen neue Impulse erhalten. Inhaltlich bieten die Tagebücher reiches Material u. a. für die Wissenschaftsgeschichte, für die Literaturwissenschaft sowie für Kunst- und Kulturwissenschaften. Die Arbeit mit Manuskripten wirft gleichzeitig Fragen der Erfassung, der Materialität und der Edition auf. Schließlich wird durch die jüngst begonnenen Forschungs-, Sicherungs- und E...
Student misuse of mobile technology for off-task purposes has become an international phenomenon in college classrooms. When a student’s self-regulation of learning breaks down in the classroom, or when their task motivation begins to wane, turning toward their digital devices for leisure purposes is often the result. Although numerous studies have independently examined student digital distraction in the context of the college classroom, there remains a need to organize the field’s collective understanding of the phenomenon. Digital Distractions in the College Classroom explores the challenges that arise from student digital distraction along with potential solutions, including how mobile technology can be leveraged to improve student motivation, self-regulation of learning, and achievement. Addressing topics such as academic motivation and instructional design, this book is ideal for instructional designers, instructors, researchers, administrators, academicians, and students.
