TY - BOOK AU - Langer,Ellen J. TI - The power of mindful learning SN - 9780738219080 U1 - 370.152 3 PY - 2016/// CY - Boston: PB - Da Capo Lifelong Books, KW - Aprendizaje consiente KW - Psicología de la educación KW - Neuropsicología KW - Problemas de aprendizaje N2 - In this pithy, liberating, and delightful book she gives us a fresh, new view of learning in the broadest sense. Such familiar notions as delayed gratification, Óthe basicsÓ, or even Óright answersÓ, are all incapacitating myths which Langer explodes one by one. She replaces them with her concept of mindful or conditional learning which she demonstrates, with fascinating examples from her research, to be extraordinarily effective. Mindful learning takes place with an awareness of context and of the ever-changing nature of information. Learning without this awareness, as Langer shows convincingly, has severely limited uses and often sets on up for failure.With stunning applications to skills as diverse as paying attention, CPR, investment analysis, psychotherapy, or playing a musical instrument, The Power of Mindful Learning is for all who are curious and intellectually adventurous.
