Abstract
Contemporary teaching is concerned not only with imparting knowledge but with developing skills and strategies for further learning. This article describes issues related to the teaching of learning strategies in the context of evaluating an introductory cognitive psychology course. The course is intended to teach both the concepts of cognitive psychology and their application to learning strategies. The evaluation revealed substantial success in affecting students' self-reported study habits and modest success in affecting achievement in later semesters. An Attribute x Treatment interaction revealed that students high in anxiety were particularly helped by the course.Keywords
