LESSON 1
Neurosceince of learning
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| cognition | how we take in, process, remember and use info |
| neurons | tiny cells, work together like a communication network |
| neurodevelopment | how brain grows and changes |
| myelination | makes pathways stronger |
| pruning | gets rid of pathways |
| neurosceince | study of brain and nervous system |
| brain stem | regulation of essential body functions. Example: breathing, sneezing and swallowing |
| limbic system | process emotions, memory formation, decision making. Example: happiness, fear, sadness |
| cerebellum | balance, coordination, motor control |
| cerebrum | thinking, reasoning, problem solving, processing info, learning new skills, higher level thinking. **largest part of the brain. |
| prefrontal cotex | decision making impulse control, emotional regulation, planning, organizing and prioritizing takes. |
| Neuroplasticity | allows the brain to continue developing and adapting beyond 25yrs old |
| What does an MRI Show? | mapping brain activity |
| encoding | initial process of info where sensory input is transformed into a form that the brain cans tore and use * Processing info |
| storage | involves retaining this encoded information over time. * retaining info |
| Feedback | plays vital role in refining our learning strategies by providing info about our performance and guiding future actions |
| metacognition | awareness and understanding of ones thinking process, enabling learners to monitor and regulate their learning. |
| desirable difficulty | introducing challenges or obstacles during learning that are neither to easy nor to difficult but just right for learning. Creates learning environments that foster resilience |
| retrieval process | enhances long term retention by actively recalling info from memory |
| spacing | strategically spacing study sessions overtime leads often to more robust learning outcomes. |
| interleaving | mixing different topics or skills within a single study session promotes deeper understanding and transfer of knowledge |
| feedback | driven metacognition-monitor and regulate learning processes to foster greater self awareness and learning autonomy |
| Learning science | study of how the brain gathers and remember info. Investigates how people learn. |
