It is easy to stumble on clues about how the mind works. Many people notice, for instance, that a good way to learn about a topic is to teach it to someone else. When a person teaches a concept to others, he or she is likely to remember that material for the long term. Long-term retention is much less likely for those in the role of a traditional learner who is listening to a teacher talk.

Fortunately, recent advances in brain science mean that we no longer must stumble on insights such as this by trial and error.
