HOW WE LEARN
By Professor Monisha Pasupathi
Learning is a lifelong adventure. It starts in your mother's
womb, accelerates to high speed in infancy and childhood,
and continues through every age, whether you're actively
engaged in mastering a new skill, intuitively discovering an
unfamiliar place, or just sleeping, which is fundamental to
helping you consolidate and hold on to what you've
learned. You are truly born to learn around the clock.
Quantity: 1 (DVD, Study Guide & Script)
Few of us know how we learn, which is the key to learning and studying more effectively. For
example, you may be surprised by the following:
 People tend to misjudge what they have learned well, what they don't yet know, and
what they do and do not need to practice.
 Moments of confusion, frustration, uncertainty, and lack of confidence are part of the
process of acquiring new skills and new knowledge.
 Humans and animals explore their worlds for the sake of learning, regardless of rewards
and punishment connected with success.
 You can teach an old dog new tricks. In fact, older learners have the benefit of prior
knowledge and critical skills—two advantages in learning.
Shedding light on what's going on when we learn and dispelling common myths about the
subject, How We Learn introduces you to this practical and accessible science in 24 half-hour
lectures presented by Professor Monisha Pasupathi of the University of Utah, an award-winning
psychology teacher and expert on how people of all ages learn.
Dr. Pasupathi's many examples cover the modern history of research on learning—from
behaviorist theory in the early 20th century to the most recent debates about whether IQ can be
separated from achievement, or whether a spectrum of different learning styles and multiple
intelligences really exist.
What You Will Learn
You start by examining 10 myths about learning. These can get in the way of making the fullest
use of the extraordinary capacity for learning and include widespread beliefs, such as that
college-educated people already know how to maximize learning or that a person must be
interested in a subject in order to learn it.
Professor Pasupathi then covers mistaken theories of learning, such as that lab animals and
humans learn in the same way or that the brain is a tabula rasa, a blank slate that can absorb
information without preparation. Babies might seem to be a counterexample, showing that you
can learn from scratch. However, you examine what newborns must know at birth in order for
them to learn so much, so quickly.
10
Next you explore in depth how humans master different tasks, from learning a native language
or a second language, to becoming adept at a sport or a musical instrument, to learning a new
city or a problem-solving strategy, to grasping the distinctive style of thinking required in
mathematics and science. Then you look inside the learning process itself, where many factors
come into play, including what is being learned and the context, along with the emotions,
motivations, and goals of the learner. You close by considering individual differences. Some
people seem to learn without effort. How do they do it?
Tips on Learning
Along the way, Professor Pasupathi offers frequent advice on how to excel in many different
learning situations:
 Mastering material: Testing yourself is a very effective strategy for mastering difficult
material. Try taking a blank sheet of paper and writing down everything you can recall
about the subject. Then go back and review the material. Next, try another blank sheet
of paper.
 Second-language learning: Becoming fluent in a second language in adulthood is
difficult because your brain is tuned to your native language and misses important clues
in the new language. To overcome this obstacle, immerse yourself among native
speakers of the new language.
 Motivating a child: When trying to motivate a schoolchild to learn, avoid controlling
language, create opportunities to give the child a sense of choice, and be careful about
excessive praise and other forms of rewards, which can actually undermine learning.
 Maintaining a learning edge: Middle-aged and older adults can preserve their learning
aptitude by exercising to maintain cardiovascular health, staying mentally active, and
periodically trying a new challenge, such as learning to draw or studying new dance
steps.
Adventures in Learning
Winner of prestigious teaching awards from her university's chapter of Psi Chi, the National
Honor Society in Psychology, Dr. Pasupathi brings today's exciting field of learning research
alive. Her descriptions of ongoing work in her field, in which she is a prominent participant, are
vivid and insightful, allowing you to put yourself into a given experiment and ask, "How would I
react under these circumstances? What does this tell me about my own approach to learning?"
By the time How We Learn ends, you will appreciate the incredible breadth of what we learn in
our lifetimes, understand the commonality and diversity of human learning experiences, and
come away with strategies for enhancing your own adventures in learning.
"Learning is a human birthright," says Professor Pasupathi. "Everything about us is built for
lifelong learning—from our unusually long childhood and our large prefrontal cortex to our
interest in novelty and challenge." And she finds reason for optimism about the future of
humanity due to our almost miraculous capacity to learn.

CHALLENGING ASSUMPTIONS PROBLEM SOLVING ACTIVITY
So simple but such a powerful message! This activity
lasts between 10 and 20 minutes and is an ideal way
of raising the awareness of a group of learners about
the pre-conceptions and assumptions we bring into
new situations. This is very valuable in problem-solving
or innovative thinking processes as it highlights how
we can limit our thinking and reject new possibilities if
they do not fit with our existing patterns.
Quantity: 1
Each toolbox contains 4 puzzles of different colors (red, blue, green and orange) designed to
work with a group of up to 16 people, in up to four independent sets of up to 4 people per set,
comparing and contrasting approaches to 'Challenging Assumptions'.
This activity works particularly well in small groups (3 or 4 people) with a number of observers.
If the players are asked to ‘think aloud’ and describe what they are doing and thinking,
observers can note the patterns that either limit or progress their problem-solving.
PASS THE BALL & PASS THE BUCK
TEAM-BUILDING GAME
This rapid-fire, fast-paced game of passing multiple
objects back and forth, up and down the line of
team members starts out easy and gets complex
very quickly. The sheer number of objects being
passed becomes the team’s greatest challenge.
And watch out for the competition. If they “drop the
ball,” it could affect your team’s performance.
Objective: To teach balance in task management
and shared responsibility for the team’s actions.
Quantity: 1
Learning outcomes: Handing off responsibilities, two-way communication, multi-tasking,
balancing between linear, sequential and matrix task management, controlling multiple
variables, and managing inter-team interactions.
# of Players: 10 to 60 players per set
Location: Indoor/Outdoor
Length: 30 – 45 minutes 28
IMAGES OF ORGANISATIONS
Navigate difficult organizational topics with a
discussion tool that makes it safe to air risky
attitudes and feelings.
The set contains three copies of 16 carefully
designed and selected images and a manual of
suggested uses. The images are designed to
be metaphors through which individuals and
teams can explore organizational issues. The
cartoon style is accessible so it allows a "door"
to be opened into dialogue that might otherwise
be too risky or challenging to be tackled
directly. People at all levels within organizations
can relate to the images and experiences
depicted.
The positive and negative nature of
the images allows teams to choose
an image to aspire to and an image
to avoid.
Idea group size: 6-16. Possible 4-30
Ideal duration: 30 minutes
Quantity: 1
THE ROAD TO THERE
STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR TEAMS

participate in creating – therefore making it “real” to
the individual contributor and inspiring ownership.
Quantity: 1

COLOURBLIND COMMUNICATION &
TEAM BUILDING KIT
COLOURBLIND® was developed in 1991 for
training Air Traffic Controllers in Great Britain -where team communication is fundamental to
success and where absolutely no margin for
error, misunderstanding or ambiguity can be
tolerated. Since then, COLOURBLIND has
been used worldwide to focus on the
fundamental skills of great two-way
communication and the achievement of shared
meaning. It is also used to explore team
problem-solving, team understanding of
abstract concepts and to explore team culture.
Quantity: 1
Wearing blindfolds to ensure total dependence upon the quality of their verbal communication,
and holding a collection of small, irregular, coloured plastic shapes, a group works together to
gather information that will allow them to solve a puzzle. The size of the group (between 4 and
28) demands different types of skill: information and group management, effective listening and
questioning, strong chairing skills, the ability to clarify and summarize and the need for
feedback to ensure understanding.
The exercise can last for up to 40 minutes, with breaks for review and coaching, and generates
a large amount of discussion. The activity can greatly benefit employees working in remote
locations and is widely used for telephone support and customer service positions. COUNTER INTELLIGENCE
GROUP PROBLEM SOLVING
Task supervision: establishing and controlling a
process, giving clear instructions, asking for and
summarizing inputs and setting out next steps.
This activity works well at first line supervisor level
and allows group members to exercise a range of
communication and logic skills. It involves active
participation from all group members as each is
required to contribute their information in order to
complete the task, and a leadership role can be
assigned (or left to emerge from within the group).
Quantity: 1
This activity would work well with large groups -- the materials are simple and portable, it is
time bound (15 minutes of activity) and needs no briefing (all instructions are provided on the
information/task cards). 30
