How We Learn by Stanislas Dehaene [book review]

How do we learn? How do learning processes take place in our brain? And what helps us learn better and more effectively in the long term? Stanislas Dehaene addresses these questions in his book “How we learn”. After reviewing Dehaene's previous work "Reading in the Brain" some time ago, I present the neuroscientist's latest title in today's book presentation.
