Learning
According to behaviorist, this is defines as the relatively permanent change in behavior bought about because of experience or practice.
Learning
According to who:
Learning is “a process that leads to change, which occurs as a result of experience and increase the potential for improved performance and future learning.
Ambrose et al, 2010, p. 3
It’s what you gain when you read about how to get better at learning skills.
Knowledge
True or False:
Learning does not change the physical structure of the brain.
False
True or False:
Learning organizes and reorganize the brain.
True
It is the ability of the brain to adapt to changes in an individual’s environment.
Neuroplasticity
Neuroplasticity is sometimes referred to as _________
Brain Plasticity
Aspects of our brains are ________
Plastic
How are the aspects of brains are plastic?
Brains are Adaptive and can altered in response to environmental and/or structural changes.
This is associated with learning occur mostly at the level of connections between neurons.
Changes
True or False:
The brain loses some of its plasticity and we become more fixed in how we think, learn, and perceive.
True
This is an amazing three-pond organ that controls all functions of the body, interprets information from the outside world.
Brain
This is the most important in learning since this where higher-ordered function like memory and reasoning occur.
Cerebrum
This is the most highly developed part of the human brain and is responsible for thinking, perceiving, producing, and understanding language.
Cerebrum
This is where most information processing occurs
Cerebral Cortex
It is the large, outer part of the brain, controls reading, thinking, learning, speech, emotions, and planned muscle movements like walking.
Cerebral Cortex
What are the Four lobes in the Cerebral Cortex?
- Frontal Lobes
- Parietal Lobes
- Temporal Lobes
- Occipital Lobes
This is a complex brain structure embedded deep into the temporal lobe. It has a major role in learning and memory.
Hippocampus
This helps to store memories of events and emotions so that an individual may be able to recognize similar events in the future.
Amygdala
What are the four factors that affect the learning process?
- Motivation
- Intellectual Ability
- Attention Span
- Prior Knowledge
Of all the factors that can affect how people learn, this might be the most important. Someone who is Motivated to learn a task or information generally succeeds, even if he or she has to work long and hard to do so.
Motivation
This also affects learning, for some people have an easier time remembering information than other.
Intellectual Ability
This vary among both children and adults. Some people simply prefer to b e on the go and have difficulty attending to a lecture or task for any length of time.
Attention Span
