    2012 UnderstandingLearning

    We have accumulated enoughknowledge about the mechanisms andmolecular underpinnings of cognition

    at the synaptic and circuit levels to saysomething about which processescontribute (James Bibb of the University of Texas SouthwesternMedical Center)

    What We Know about theBrain and Learning

    What we know about the braincomes from biologist who study braintissue, experimental psychologist who

    study behavior, cognitiveneuroscientist who study how the firstrelates to the second. (Medina, 2008).

    Left Brain-Right Brain Myth

    Individuals do differ in the way theythink through problems and reflect onthe world, but this has nothing to do

    with different balances of powerbetween their hemispheres.

    Left Brain-Right Brain Myth

    "But boiling it down into a left brain

    'logical' and right brain 'creative'approach does not follow from what wesee in how the brain operates.

    It also suggests you could be usingone hemisphere more than the other

    and that's not really how it works.

    Left Brain-Right Brain Myth

    The two sides communicate witheach other and work together via acomplex wodge of neural cabling

    known as the corpus callosum.

    The two sides of the brains arecomplementary and work in concert.( Scott,2011)

    Teachers Definition ofLearning?

    Learning is the ability to use informationafter significant periods of disuse

    andit is the ability to use the information to

    solve problems that arise in a contextdifferent (if only slightly) from the context

    in which the information was originallytaught.

    Growth Mindset

    Students believe--

    They believe that a persons truepotential is unknown (and

    unknowable);

    Growth Mindset

    Students with a growth mindset takelearning risks and view failure only asa message that they need to figure

    out what they did wrong and workharder to improve.

    Mindset-Fixed

    In a fixed mindset students believethat intelligence is a fixed trait -- thatsome people have it and others don't

    -- and that their intelligence isreflected in their performance (Dweck,2006).

    We Use all our Senses

    The traditional belief among neuroscientistshas been that the human senses operatelargely as independent systems.

    However, mounting data suggestinteractions between vision, hearing, smell,touch and taste are the rule, rather than the

    exception.

    Multisensory Learning

    Those in multisensory environmentsalways do better than those inunisensory environments. They have

    more recall with better resolution thatlasts longer, evident even twentyyears later. (Medina, 2008).

    Smells and Learning

    Proust Effect is the unusual ability ofsmell to enhance recall.

    Best results when smells are

    congruent with the situation.Medina, 2008, Brain Rules, p.212

    Smell and Memory

    The smell of roses delivered topeople's nostrils as they studied and,later, as they slept improved their

    performance on a memory test byabout 13 percent.

    The new study, published in TheJournal Science, was the first rigorous

    test of the effect of odor on human

    memory during sleep.

    Re-exposure to the odor during slow-wave sleep (SWS) improved theretention of hippocampus-dependent

    declarative memories.

    In a study published in 2010, foundthat after a time delay, scent enhancesrecall of verbal information.

    Scent-based retrieval cuespotentiate the facilitative effect ofpictures on recall as well.

    Cumulative Tests Work

    These studies show that reviews ingeneral and cumulative tests inparticular lead to improved student

    performance (Thomas Edmonds, 1984)

  • 8/2/2019 Houston Keynote Presentation 2012

    46/138

    4/16/12

    Using Cumulative Exams

    If the intervening test includescorrect answer feedback, it is notsurprising that testing often improves

    long-term retention (Cull, 2000; McDaniel & Fisher, 1991;Pashler, Cepeda, Wixted, & Rohrer, 2005);

    Review

    Reviews may do more than simplyincrease the amount learned; theymay shift the learners attention away

    from the verbatim details of thematerial being studies to its deeperconceptual structures(Dempster, 1986)

    How to Use Review

    Review is most effective when spreadout over timeevery few days ratherthan two reviews in the same day is

    twice as effective and increases asthe frequency of review increases.(Dempster,1986)

    Why Students Forget

    Review helps to limit the 3 Sins ofMemory that commonly occur

    among students.

    1. Blocking information stored butcant be accessed (Schacter, 2001)

    1. Misattribution attributing amemory to the wrong situation orsource (Zola, 2002)

    1. Transience memory lost over time

    Emotion and Memory

    Emotional arousal organizes andcoordinates brain activity (Bloom, Beal &Kupfer 2003)

    When the amygdala detectsemotions, it essentially boostsactivity in the areas of the brainthat form memories(S. Hamann & Emony, UN.)

  • 8/2/2019 Houston Keynote Presentation 2012

    4/16/12

    Emotion and Memory

    Emotional arousal appears toincrease the likelihood ofmemory consolidation during the

    retention (storage) stage of memory.

    A number of studies show that overtime, memories for neutral stimulidecrease but memories for arousingstimuli remain the same or improve(Lebar and Phelps, 1998).
