How the Adult Brain Works. Neuroscience and Adult Learning

The discussion around neuroscience and learning is always interesting and this was no exception. Our special Learning Rebels guest, Stella Collins from Stellar Labs shared all kinds of knowledge bombs!

There was so much to process and it was great everyone contributed their thoughts...this is how we all "Learn Something New"!

Key AHA Statements:

• "Neuroscience is any of the Sciences that relates to brains behaviors and people. Neuroscience is the physical of - 'How does your brain connect'?"
• "Neuroscience is not just one science. The science of learning is many different types of Sciences."
• "Recognition is not as strong as recall"
• "Get more blood to the brain through movement to strengthen learning ties"
• "Be aware of people trying to sell you something, do your own research"
• Avoid the "BASIC" approach to learning:
  • Boredom
  • Avoid Abstract
