BRAINS

1. BRAINS AND MEMORY TO BEHAVIOR LEARNING

   • MEMORY - behavioral change caused by an experience, and define learning as a process for acquiring memory
     • e procedural memory is not available to consciousness
     • DECLARATIVE MEMORY - related to conciousness.
     • SYNAPSE- The most popular candidate site for memory storage is the synapse, where nerve cells (neurons) communicate.
       • work on naturalistic models such as song learning in birds, suggesting that brain systems produce unlearned biases that also contribute in important ways to the learning process.

2. CAN THINKING BE TAUGHT? WHY?

3. FUNCTIONS AND HOW DOES IT WORKS

   • CEREBRUM
     • PARIETAL LOBES - interpret sensory information
     • FRONTAL LOBES - control thinking, planning, problem solving, short-memory term and movement.
     • OCCIPITAL LOBES - process image from the eyes and link to the memory.
     • TEMPORAL LOBES - process information from the senses of smell, taste and sound.
   • CEREBELLUM
     • A wrinkled ball of tissue below and behind the rest of the brain
     • Combines sensory information from the eyes, ears and muscle to help coordinate movement.
   • BRAINSTEM
     • Links the brain to the spinal cords.
     • Controls many functions vital to life such as heart rate, blood pressure and breathing.
