Drawing on cognitive psychology and other fields, Make It Stick offers techniques for becoming more productive learners, and cautions against study habits and practice routines that turn out to be counterproductive. The book speaks to students, teachers, trainers, athletes, and all those interested in lifelong learning and self-improvement.

Each chapter of the study guide contains the following useful resources: chapter outline; key terms matching section; Programmed Review section, consisting of a narrative summary of the chapter with fill-in-the-blank items; Experimental Project section, providing students with the opportunity to apply chapter concepts to a research project; "Experimental Dilemmas," presenting students with a hypothetical research situation to evaluate; multiple-choice, True/False, and essay questions; Answer Key with main text page references; Suggested Readings section, providing students with information above and beyond what they will find in the main text; and an Annotated Web site section.

Kantowitz, Roediger, and Elmes, all prominent researchers, take an example-based approach to the fundamentals of research methodology. Their text is organized by topic--such as research in human factors, learning, thinking, and problem solving--a unique feature that helps students connect the concepts of sound methodology with their practical applications. Because the authors employ dozens of carefully selected real-world examples, students can see for themselves the issues and problems that can occur in conducting research. More importantly, they can develop a sense of how to anticipate and adjust for problems in their own research.
