Praise for Manage Memory for Deeper Learning

In Manage Memory for Deeper Learning, Patti uses research to cut through all the fads and trends, so we can focus our efforts on strategies and tactics proven to make a difference. She breaks down the research and puts it into practical terms that the rest of us can learn, remember, and apply. After reading just the first few chapters, I found myself quoting Patti in meetings as we discussed the best way to tackle a training challenge.
Diane, Elkins, Co-founder of Artisan E-Learning and E-Learning Uncovered

Patti's superpower is distilling the academic research into clear, straightforward tactics any practitioner can use immediately to make their learning experiences better. She does it again in Manage Memory for Deeper Learning. Highly recommended.
Julie Dirksen, Author of Design for How People Learn

I want to wallpaper our instructional designer's cubes with the tables and examples from this book. I have few other books (besides Patti's) that give me well-developed research and practice exercises to help my understanding. Easy to read and easy to use, the entire series is a must for instructional designers.
Heidi Matthews, VP of Programs ATD Kansas City

Most books about instruction are either too basic, providing only a high-level overview, or are too complex, failing to provide practical solutions. Shank rises to this challenge with great skill, offering an in-depth analysis but in simple language. An excellent addition to her Deeper Learning Series, and an excellent resource for anyone who needs people to learn specific skills... and actually use them. I am a great fan of Patti Shank's writing.
Christopher Pappas, Founder, eLearningIndustry.com

What I find particularly strong in this book is the clear, concise language, the easy-to-understand examples, and the way Patti helps you to connect the tactics. If you design learning experiences, you simply must understand how your design can make or break what people can remember and why remembering is critical for learning and work.
