23.01.2022 Remembering What We Learn Memories are the internal mental records that we maintain, which give us instant access to our personal past, complete with all of the facts that we know and the skills that we have cultivated. While the mind's capacity to store and recall information is truly wondrous, there are many factors that influence our ability to learn. Unlike adults, children are born to learn from day 1. The brain develops at an enormous rate but it needs to be properly c...ared for, nurtured, so it is remains healthy, ready to tackle everyday opportunities. Good food, plenty of water, exercise and rest are just some of the essential elements required for preparing the brain to learn. What do you know about these things and how much they can influence learning? What would you like to know about these 4 elements and how they influence the brain's readiness to learn? Post your ideas below. See more

21.01.2022 Cerebrum Podcast: The Brain’s Waste-Removal System - With Helene Benveniste, M.D., Ph.D. Helene Benveniste, Ph.D., a professor of anesthesiology at Yale and author of our Cerebrum article, The Brain’s Waste-Removal System, tells us about her role in the discovery in the glymphatic system and its potential to help treat Alzheimer’s and any number of other degenerative diseases. https://soundcloud.com/dana/the-brains-waste-removal-system

20.01.2022 Good reader, poor speller? Use the stories in Phonics Stories for Older Learners to focus on the alternative spellings we use to represent sounds. The learner first has to listen for the target sound and highlight the words. Then identify the spelling that is used in each word.

17.01.2022 We as adults have the power to make positive change for our younger generation. ...One of the most consistent findings has been increased reactivity in the amygdala, a structure at the hub of the brain’s fear-processing circuit, and this can translate behaviorally to impulsivity and heightened response to threat. The reward system, on the other hand shows a blunted response... An article worthy of your time. http://www.dana.org/Briefing_Papers/The_Abused_Brain/

03.01.2022 Expectations are the predictor to failure... or success. Set children up to feel they can succeed, not for failure.

02.01.2022 Say It With Rhythm! There is a tremendously tight association between our auditory system and how we move in the world. Rhythms that are pulse-based differ from those that are pattern-based, and are processed differently in the brain. Pulsed-based tasks are associated with fast-language-processing skills like recognizing syllables; pattern-based tasks engage slower processes, like hearing one voice in a noisy room. It is the rhythm in speech that helps you fill in the gaps in... noise, Drummers are especially good at this, and nearly all musicians are better than non-musicians. Making music strengthens language. Interactive video games could help children improve timing and accuracy, features in music that also are critical to understanding and producing language. https://youtu.be/DDoCspGaPBA
