What Brain Research Says About

 

Brain is not designed for nonstop learning. As the brain learns new information, new connections are formed.

Learning is a biological process that literally changes the configuration of the brain.

Processing time is necessary to build the inner wiring necessary for connectivity and recall.

Repetition of information strengthens new connections.

For us to take ownership of new information,  our brain needs to “know what it knows

Three criteria necessary for this are

1.Reinforcing in your preferred modality (visual, auditory or kinesthetic)

2. Reinforcing the right number of times (for some once, for others it may be 20 times),

3. Reinforcing a sufficient length of time (a couple of seconds to several hours).
