People who remember to do/doing everything 

they have planned are usually people who organize 

their tasks in some way, and avoid  to get/getting into 

a muddle. A shopping list is a good example of this 

technique, provided you remember to take/taking the 

list with you when you go to shop/shopping.

It’s sometimes possible to remember a fact, for 

example,  if  first  of  all  you  stop  to  think/thinking 

for a few moments. When you try to remember/

remembering something, this will be easier if you 

have learnt it in an organized way. If you are not sure 

how to do this, try to write/writing brief notes about 

the  text  you  are  reading.  Many  people  find  this  an 

effective way of learning. After all, it’s easy to read 

something and not understand or remember it, usually 

because you have stopped to pay/paying attention.

Take the notion that children have specific learning 

styles, that some are ‘visual learners’ and others are 

auditory; some are «left-brain» students, others «right-

brain.» In a recent review of the relevant research, 

published in the journal Psychological Science in the 

Public Interest, a team of psychologists found almost 

zero support for such ideas. ...

Psychologists have discovered that some of the 

most hallowed advice on study habits is flat wrong. 

For instance, many study skills courses insist that 

a) ___________, a study room or a quiet corner of 

the  library,  to  take  their  work.  The  research  finds 

just the opposite. In one classic 1978 experiment, 

psychologists found that college students who studied 

a list of 40 vocabulary words in two different rooms - 

one windowless and cluttered, the other modern, with 

a view on a courtyard - b) ___________ who studied 

the words twice, in the same room. Later studies have 

confirmed the finding, for a variety of topics. ...

In a study recently posted online by the journal 

Applied Cognitive Psychology, Doug Rohrer and 

Kelli Taylor of the University of South Florida 

taught a group of fourth graders four equations, 

c) ____________. Half of the children learned by 

studying repeated examples of one equation, say, 

calculating the number of prism faces when given the
