The Science of Learning: What is it and How does it Work? EP 122 with John R. Miles

We all learn differently and understanding the science of learning helps us all uniquely learn better. And the more we know, the easier it is to learn and understand new things regardless of your profession. | Brought to you by Grammarly (https://grammarly.com/passionstruck) and Raycon (https://buyraycon.com/passionstruck).\nThe science of learning is the ongoing process of information retention over time.
