She will give an overview on the most promising learning principles and will provide strategies that can improve memory.

Dr Kuepper-Tetzel said, “People will leave my talk with a better understanding on how learning principles from Cognitive Psychology can be used to their advantage.

“I will be discussing how to prepare for an upcoming test and ways to maintain information for a long time.

“Science has shown that these learning strategies are easy to use and very effective.”
