#2051 Learning vs. Memorising - Kelly Smith

from The You Project · host Craig Harper

Is memorising a fact or piece of information to pass a test or meet a requirement actually learning, or is it just filing another thing in our cognitive hard-drive that will never the see light of day in a practical, behavioural sense? Does learning need to equate to doing, or can it be just about knowing stuff that we'll never operationalise? In this chat, Kelly, Tiff and I explore this quirky little question and lots more.
