Learning to Learn: The importance of embracing desirable difficulties

When my children were young and wanted to play in the AYSO soccer league, I decided to train to
be a referee. I took all the required classes, studied hard, and passed the written certification exam.

At my first match, dressed in my uniform, I strode into the middle of the field with the players all
gathered around—and suddenly realized I couldn’t recall how to start the game.

I’m sure you’ve had a similar experience, say, thinking you were well prepared for an exam of some
kind only to have your mind go blank during the test. These surprises reflect the important
distinction between learning and performance: We can know how to do something in one context,
then have difficulty later in a different environment.
