Efter at have indtaget livets sidste måltid bliver Todd Willingham henrettet i februar 2004 under yderst dramatiske omstændigheder. Videnskabelige granskninger kunne pludselig, mens han sad og ventede på sprøjten, udfordre de oprindelige tekniske undersøgelser af dødsbranden. Men de strander på skrivebordene, eller ignoreres bevidst eller ubevidst, og derfor diskuteres Willinghams sag og straf stadig ivrigt i dag. Gæst: Martin Martensen-Larsen, jurist og kunstner.

Tre små piger omkommer i en aggressiv husbrand i Corsicana i Texas i juledagene i 1991. Ude på verandaen står deres magtesløse far – Todd Willingham – som politiet dog hurtigt mistænker for at stå bag en ildspåsættelse. Undersøgelser bekræfter umiddelbart den uhyggelige tanke: At familiefaren selv har forårsaget sine døtres tragiske død.

Dette er del to av vår lille innføring i kognitiv belastningsteori, bedre kjent som cognitive load theory (CLT). Selv om teorien først ble formulert på 80-tallet, så er det først i de siste par årene at den begynt å få større oppmerksomhet i utdanningsfeltet. Vi snakker om de studiene som ledet John Sweller til å utforme teorien, om arbeidsminne og langtidsminne, ulike kilder til kunnskap, evolusjonær psykologi og hvordan Sweller inkluderte David Gearys distinksjon om biologisk primære og sekundære ferdigheter, generelle og domenespesifikke ferdigheter, kritisk tenking, indre og ytre belastning ved læring, og en rekke av de mest sentrale effekter som er kartlagt i CLT, og litt om kritikken som er blitt rettet mot teorien. I en tredje episode i denne lille serien, som vil komme ut litt etter disse to innføringsepisodene, vil vi også publisere et intervju som Lars gjorde med opphavsmannen til cognitive load theory, John Sweller.

Selv om teorien først ble formulert på 80-tallet, så er det først i de siste par årene at den begynt å få større oppmerksomhet i utdanningsfeltet.

What if the biggest predictor of your child becoming a lifelong reader has nothing to do with phonics programs, library incentives, or natural talent and everything to do with protecting space in their day? Cognitive psychologist Dr. Daniel Willingham joins Ginny to reveal the surprising truth about how kids learn, why background knowledge matters more than ever, and why reading aloud long past early childhood gives kids an academic and emotional advantage. With warmth and clarity, Dr. Willingham explains the “fourth grade slump,” the power of expertise, and how AI is reshaping the skills our kids will need most in the future. This episode offers a hopeful and doable path for families who want to reclaim reading in a screen-saturated world. You'll learn why limiting screens is the single most effective way to help kids choose reading for pleasure. Dr. Willingham shares why children don't need perfection, programs, or pressure; they need a home where learning is valued, distractions are dialed down, and reading is woven into the family rhythm. Encouraging, practical, and deeply grounding, this conversation shows that every parent can raise a reader starting today. Have fun. Start now.

Think about a good joke. If you knew the punchline right away? It's less funny. If you had to have the punchline explained? Less funny. But if you understood the punchline within a few moments, and got the satisfaction of "realization" in real time? That makes a BANGER of a joke. It's all about the appropriate level of challenge and thinking. According to Daniel Willingham's book, "Why Students Don't Like School?" Curiosity is fragile. Learning is difficult as hell. Our brains are built for efficiency, not thinking. We can trick our brains into motivation by worrying about the difficulty of the challenge, rather than the topic or the content. We rely on our memories more than our thinking brain.SOURCES:Read Daniel's article for yourself, here: https://www.aft.org/sites/default/files/WILLINGHAM%282%29.pdfCheck out his website + other work: http://www.danielwillingham.com/books.htmlOr read this synopsis of the book: https://classteaching.wordpress.com/2014/04/24/why-dont-students-like-school/Resources for Resisting a Coup: https://makeyourdamnbed.medium.com/practical-guides-to-resisting-a-coup-b44571b9ad66SUPPORT JULIE (and the show!): https://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bedDONATE to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund: www.pcrf.netGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

Episode 82 In this episode, we follow the fallout of the Cameron Todd Willingham case — a story that didn't end at the execution chamber. When fire scientist Dr. Gerald Hurst sounded the alarm that the arson evidence used to convict Willingham was based on junk science, Texas had a choice: pause and reevaluate, or push forward and protect its image. It chose the latter. We'll unpack how political pressure and flawed forensics collided, how the Texas Forensic Science Commission became a battleground for truth, and how one governor's ambition may have buried accountability for good. We'll also examine how the echoes of this case continue today — through the fight to apply the state's Junk Science Law, and the ongoing battle to win a fair trial for Robert Roberson, another man condemned by discredited science. Because justice isn't just about verdicts — it's about what we do after we know the truth. Help Stop Robert Roberson's Execution!!! Click here to sign the petition!
