2. The evidence
 Experience, focus
and practice
develops specific
regions of the human
brain. Hence
people’s brains vary
as does their ability
and interest

3. The evidence
 Brains are sensitive
to the
culture/environment
and develop
differentially

4. The evidence
 It takes effort to shift
information from working
to long term memory
 The more places
information is stored the
easier it is retrieved and
used
 Repeated use improves
memory

5. The evidence
 Humans learn in
small chunks

6. The evidence
 Learning promotes
more learning as
pathways develop
and success occurs

7. The evidence
 Personalising,
sharing and using
information enhances
the chance it is
learned as new
pathways are forged

8. The evidence
 People can pay
attention to a
speaker for about 8
minutes

9. The evidence
 People operate on
System 1 thinking
(habitual, automatic)
rather than System 2
thinking (cognitive
involvement) since it
takes less energy

10. The evidence
 Effort develops
human brains

11. The evidence
 Humans are naturally
curious and explore

12. The evidence
 Learning needs to be
multi-sensory

13. The evidence
 Emotions and
learning are
inextricably linked
 Emotionally charged
experiences are
more likely to be
remembered and
recovered

14. The evidence
 Humans are
motivated to resolve
incongruity
 They are pattern
seeking

15. The evidence
 Brain plasticity tells
us that brains
constantly change
and develop in the
face of new learning
as complex new
pathways are built

16. The evidence
 State dependent
learning-people are
more likely to recover
information in the same
physical and/or
emotional state that
they obtained it
 So, learn the same way
you intend to use it

17. The evidence
 The first 30 seconds
are critical in any
interaction in gaining
attention

18. The evidence
 Repetition using
different parts of the
brain is critical for
memory

19. The evidence
 Enriched
environments
enhance learning as
do
 Surprise and novel
experiences

20. The evidence
 It can take years to
develop reliable
memories

21. The evidence
 When real learning
occurs is
unpredictable

22. The evidence
 Humans learn best
by immersion
 -Interaction with
information

23. The evidence
 Technological games
appear to enhance
learning
