Basic Brain Function
-
Front Cortex (Front Integrative + Motor Pre Motor) Back Cortex (Temporal Integrative + Sensory/Post Sensory)
- Learning Circle
-
Long Term Memory
-
Over Training can prevent consolidation
4 x 60 minutes can be too much
- Naps of 30-60 minutes between session 2 and 3
- Repeated Testing (and use?) aids in long term memory recall
- Long term memories must be reharsed or they will be lost
- Multi tasking: use of IM, Cell Phones, Text Messaging Inhibits Learning/Memory
-
Transforming Information into Knowledge
-
Balance delivery of information (Back Cortex) with Discovery Approaches (Front Cortex)
- Too much information with no time to integrate or comprehend inhibits the transformation
- Students working in groups have better outcomes
