Video Recommendations: How the Brain Learns
My favorite video series: cognitive science-based study skills
Ali Abdaal’s How to Study for Exams YouTube series
I did not meet Ali Abdaal when I was at Cambridge, but if I had, we probably would have been best friends because the dude is SO COOL! Assuming you measure coolness by how many brain-based study tips people know! Seriously, check out his videos. The best.
If you want to learn more about the field of psychology, Crash Course is a great resource. You can pick and choose episodes, but if you want the equivalent of a full psychology course, you can watch the whole thing front to back. Fun to watch and supremely educational! (Note that Crash Course is aimed at upper-level high school, so there may be some content that isn’t appropriate for middle school.)
