CPD Event Strategies for Effective Learning

This is a lunchtime CPD session covering strategies for effective learning for professional exams, and is designed to give attendees insights into the science of successful learning that will support their preparation for professional examinations.

The session will cover the following areas:
· The impact of beliefs or perceptions about intelligence
· What it takes to learn something
· ‘Desirable Difficulties' and the power of forgetting
· Avoiding popular (but ineffective) study techniques
· Using (and not just receiving) feedback
· Memory and transfer
