What does it feel like to have a memory in long-term memory.
In this task name the ink color in which the words are printed, but ignore the word that the letters spell. Hence for TURKEY, the proper response is "blue."
First try this list:
LION BEAR TIGER LION BEAR BEAR TIGER
Now try this list: In this task name the ink color in which the words are printed, but ignore the word that the letters spell

The brain was made for survival of the species ...and still operates that
way!
“School” learning is harder than we think
Biological relevant stimuli is stronger than curriculum.
The brain is designed for survival instincts: Hunger, safety, breeding, building alliances
Attention requires that we orient, engage, and maintain independent neural networks. It is easy when the task is novel or pleasurable…but when it’s not…
So…what is my brain good at?
And why so many part…
specialization?
Human mind is exquisitely tuned to understand and remember stories
•Causality
•Conflict
•Complication
•Character
•Comprehending requires inferences…forcing you to think about meaning.
•Stories have causal structure…one thing leads to another
Power of Stories
So visual images are important…
What else is important for
making and storing memories?
On a blank piece of paper, number the
lines 1-30
I will call out 30 words with directions for each
word.Record the task on
each line.
Tasks for individual words...I will let you
know the task•If I turn my head to the left when I
say the word you will write (Y) for yes. If I don’t turn it write (N) for no.
•If the word has an A or U in it write (Y) for Yes. If not write (N) for no.
•Rate the word (1-7) for pleasantness; 1 being least pleasant; 7 being very pleasant.
After I read the list we will count to 20 and then write as
many words as you remember.
Count the numbers of words you remembered
from each Column?

We Feel, Therefore We Learn!
Recent studies highlight the importance of relationships…looking at ability to experience admiration for virtue and skill….and compassion for physical and emotional pain.

Hypothalamus- monitors homeostasis, thirst, hunger, circadian rhythms, and control of the autonomic nervous
system.Amygdala- Emotions and fear are processed here.
Hippocampus- consolidates memories/learning
Medulla- responsible for maintaining vital body functions, such as breathing and heart rate.
Anterior Cingulate Cortex- regulation of sympathetic activity.
Anterior Insula- regulates how we “feel.”
Implications
In order for emotions about the psychological situations of others to
be induced and experienced, additional time is needed for the
introspective processing of culturally shaped social knowledge.

…experiences that develop relationships tend to develop deeper
learning...and intrinsic pursuits (aka…motivation)
