    Folklore vs. Science

    In A Celebration of Neurons by

    Brain Research

    It is important to realize muchof the research on the brain asit relates to learning has beendone on animal models.

    The research that is done onhumans consist of the study ofdiscrete tasks in isolation.(Dr. Janet Zadina, Neuroscientist andEducator)

    This research can however,give us important ideas abouthow to make learning moreeffective.

    It is a Comprehensive Blend

    Antonio Damasio, head of the Department of Neurology atthe University of Iowa Medical Center said

    "The relation between brain systems and complex cognition

    and behavior, can only be explained satisfactorily by acomprehensive blend of theories and facts related to all thelevels of organization of the nervous system, frommolecules, and cells and circuits, to large-scale systems andphysical and social environments. . . .

    We must beware of explanations that rely on data from onesingle level, whatever the level may be."

    What We Know about the Brain

    What we know about the

    brain comes from

    biologist who study brain

    behavior, cognitive

    neuroscientist who study

    how the first relates to

    the second and

    Teachers Definition of Learning?

    Learning is the ability to use information aftersignificant periods of disuse

    and

    it is the ability to use the information to solveproblems that arise in a context different (if onlyslightly) from the context in which the information

    was originally taught.

    The researchers found thatduring rest, the areas of thebrain were just as active asthey were when they were

    learning the task

    The greater the correlationbetween rest and learningthe greater the chance of

    remembering the task inlater tests.Dr Lila Davachi, NYU's Department ofPsychology and Center for Neural Science.

    Caffeine and Sugar (glucose) and

    Learning A study reported in the journal Human Psychopharmacology:

    Clinical and Experimentalfound that the combination of caffeineand sugar (glucose) enhanced attention, learning and memory.

    The conclusions suggested that a combination of caffeine andglucose has beneficial effects on attention (sequential reaction timetasks) and learning and on the consolidation of verbal memory,none of which were observed when the substances were consumedseparately (Grabulosa,2010).

    The studies main finding was that the combination of the twosubstances improves cognitive performance in terms of sustainedattention and working memory by increasing the efficiency of theareas of the brain responsible for these two functions. (Grabulosa,Adan, Falcn, and Bargall, 2010)

    Why Students Forget

    Review helps to limit the 3 Sins of Memory that

    commonly occur among students.

    1. Blocking information stored but cant be

    accessed (Schacter, 2001)

    2. Misattribution attributing a memory to the

    wrong situation or source (Zola, 2002)

    3. Transience memory lost over time 65% of a

    lecture is lost in the first hour (Schacter, 2001)

    Patterns and Learning

    The brain is a pattern seeking device that

    relates whole concepts to one another and

    looks for similarities, differences, or

    relationships between them. (Ratey, 2002, pg.5)
