Every learner is unique.
The kinds of learning for which each brain system is specialized demand different approaches to teaching and different uses of media. In this section we highlight individual differences, teaching approaches, and the kinds of flexibility needed in media as they relate to each of the three neural networks essential for learning. Back to index Individual Differences in Recognition Systems d Specific differences in the recognition systems of individual learners range from the subtle to the profound. Recognition cortex in Einstein s brain was disproportionately allocated to spatial cognition. In school he had difficulty learning to read, recognize letter patterns and sound-symbol connections, but he was a genius at visualizing the deepest fundamentals of physics.
