#023 Robert and Elizabeth Bjork – Memory, Forgetting, Testing, Desirable Difficulties

Robert and Elizabeth Bjork are my heroes. The Godfather and
Godmother of memory (my name for them, not theirs!), and they
have transformed my teaching. It was an honour to talk to them.
We spoke about how memory works, why forgetting is so important,
why tests are far more than tools of assessment, when and why to
make learning difficult, optimal spacing schedules, how to
interleave successfully, and a whole lot more.
