In this last episode of Neuroscience for Learning, we explore the fascinating topic of how our brains are designed to forget, featuring expert Tina Harris. Discover why forgetting is actually crucial for our memory functions and how we can support and enhance our ability to remember. We delve into the role of the hippocampus, the conductor of memory in our brains, and learn how it sorts and processes information.

Uncover the power of emotions and sensory experiences in aiding memory retention and explore effective memory triggers like linking, novelty, and anchors such as mnemonics. Stories emerge as potent tools for memory, combining emotions, senses, and patterns. We also explore the significance of repetition and recall over recognition, understanding the importance of allowing neural pathways to strengthen through spaced repetition.

Tina provides practical strategies for designing learning programs that incorporate memory triggers and prevent forgetting. Uncover the secrets to overcoming the forgetting curve and ensuring optimal memory retention, even for less emotionally charged content like work-related information. Apply Tina's expert tips to support your memory and enhance your learning experience.

Watch this captivating episode of Neuroscience for Learning and unlock the key to remembering with ease.

In this fifth episode of our captivating neuroscience series on building habits for effective learning. We delve into the fascinating process of habit formation within the brain. In this episode, our expert guest Jaan sheds light on how habits initially start as conscious actions controlled by the prefrontal cortex, and then gradually transition to the automatic, unconscious basal ganglia.

Discover the pivotal role of endocannabinoids, neurotransmitters that facilitate this shift by reducing activity in the prefrontal cortex and increasing it in the basal ganglia. Through repetition and the strengthening of neural connections, habits become deeply ingrained. Jaan shares practical insights for applying this knowledge to the real-world challenges of learning at work.

Learn how triggered action plans, rooted in specific events, can empower you to overcome old habits and embrace new behaviours. By harnessing the brain's natural reward system, these action plans provide a tangible sense of accomplishment, igniting a positive feedback loop of success and motivation. This episode unveils the secrets to building effective habits that transform your learning experience.

In this episode, Stella and Karen delve into the fascinating world of neuroplasticity and its impact on learning. Join us as we explore how our brains form and reform connections through the use of glucose, electricity, and chemicals.

Discover the truth about the brain's capacity to change and adapt, debunking the myth of its fixed nature. Learn about Hebb's Law and how neurons that fire together wire together, creating interconnected networks that enable us to perform cognitive tasks. But how can we harness neuroplasticity in practical learning scenarios? Enter the power of play. Find out how playfulness triggers creativity, enhances brain connections, and promotes thinking outside the box.

Discover simple yet effective strategies to incorporate play into learning, including adapting favourite games, using multisensory elements, and fostering social interaction. Uncover the benefits of play for adults, from better memory to cognitive flexibility and stress regulation.

So, whether you're a learner or an educator, join us on this exciting journey as we unlock the potential of neuroplasticity and play in the world of learning.
