Brain Transmissions

• Neurons transmit impulses along an axon and across the synapse to the dendrites of the neighboring cell


1,000,000,000,000,000 synapses

• Learning occurs by changing the synapses so that the influence of one neuron on another also changes.

• The more complex the skills demanded in an occupation, the more dendrites were found on the neurons – creates more sites in which to store learnings


How the Brain Learns

• Connections the brain finds useful become permanent; those not useful are eliminated as the brain selectively strengthens and prunes connections based on experience.

• What are the implications for teaching?


The Brain is a novelty seeker

• The brain has a persistent interest in novelty.

• An environment that contains mostly predictable stimuli lowers the brain’s interest


Information Processing Model

• Learning• Storing• Remembering

– Are all dynamic and interactive processes


Information Processing Model

• It limits its scope to the major cerebral operations that deal with:– Collecting– Evaluating– Storing– Retrieving information– The parts that are most useful to educators
