Quotes by Benedict Carey (?)

“Once a goal becomes activated, it trumps all others and begins to drive our perceptions, our thoughts, our attitudes,” as John Bargh, a psychologist at Yale University, told me.”
― Benedict Carey, How We Learn: The Surprising Truth About When, Where, and Why It Happens

“In plain English: The act of guessing engaged your mind in a different and more demanding way than straight memorization did, deepening the imprint of the correct answers. In even plainer English, the pretest drove home the information in a way that studying-as-usual did not.”
― Benedict Carey, How We Learn: The Surprising Truth About When, Where, and Why It Happens
