Development & Learning from Neuroscience

Development & Learning from Neuroscience

1. Attention

   • LOCATION: Frontal Lobe
   • filter through which we see and focus the world around us
   • the brain chooses to focus attention selectively
   • concentration is necessary for neurons to be activated and neural networks to connect
   • the brain needs time to rest and refocus

2. Memory

   • LOCATION: Hippocampus (Temporal Lobe)
   • Process of 3 stages
     • Coding
     • Storage
     • Retrieval
   • Failure
     • a function of deficiencies in any of the three stages in the memory process
   • Dopamine
     • the brain's chemical reward and is triggered in response to positive feedback during the learning process
     • strengthening the neural connections after repeating a thought or behavior EMBED LEARNING

3. Language

   • unique capacity of human beings
   • LOCATION: Parietal Lobe
     • Area of Broca
       • Speech production
     • Area of Werniche
       • Comprehension
     • Words are associated with different aras of the brain based on them and meaning
       • Receptive language
   • Foreign language learning can increase brain size

4. Perception

   • information is received by the brain in the form of nerve impulses, is organized and interpreted
   • Extracting information from the environment
     • Automatic
     • Unconscious
   • nvolves a process of taking information from the outside to organize it in a meaningful way in our interior and, ultimately, to become aware of the world that surrounds us.
   • Sequence of events
     • 1. Stimuli
     • 2. Transmission of information through sensory pathways
     • 3. the perceptive act ends with the response of the subject to the stimulus.

5. Motor Skill

   • brain constantly performs millions of "calculations" that come from the sensory world to get the muscles placed in the proper configuration to achieve a specific goal
   • Motor Calculation
     • based on our brain's ability to "predict" and "anticipate" the action
     • Conscious thought & unconscious "high-speed computing"
   • Brain learns through movement

6. Emotion

   • complex states, multidimensional phenomena characterized by four elements:
     • Cognitive
     • Behavioral
     • Physiological
     • Expressive
   • can promote learning by intensifying the activity of neural networks and strengthen synaptic connections.
     • you learn best when a certain content or material have emotional components
       • enhance learning
       • difficult to learn
   • Bran Tonsil in the Limbic System
     • responsible for regulating emotions allowing much more timely learning.
