Making scientific research on learning more accessible to students, teachers, and other educators.

About Us

We are cognitive psychological scientists interested in research on education. Our main research focus is on the science of learning. (Hence, "The Learning Scientists"!)

We aim to :

Motivate students to study
Increase the use of effective study and teaching strategies that are backed by research
Decrease negative views of testing

This is not a product or a sales pitch - just science!

We are funded by generous organizations and individual patrons. You can click here to see a list of our supporters. If you're interested in becoming a Patron, check out our Patreon page! We have some exclusive content for those who support us and make all of this free content possible.

Are you an educator, student, or researcher interested in contributing content to the blog or podcast? We accept proposals for guest blogs and podcast guests through forms on our website.

The Learning Scientists team (and many of our collaborators) work as faculty and/or staff within institutions of higher education. The views, opinions, and information presented on our website are our own, and should not be attributed to our institutions or organizations.
