Another chance to hear the inaugural episode of Great Minds on
Learning, which was originally aired back in March 2021 to
considerable acclaim.
In this series, Donald Clark – the internationally famous
author, blogger and entrepreneur, joins John Helmer
to discuss the history of thought and theorising about
learning.
This particular episode is about The Cognitivists, a group of
theorists who made a vital contribution to what we now know about
the mechanics of memory and learning.
