Teaching, Psychological aspects. Brain-Study and teaching. Review by Meredith MacKeen. The aspect of memory that is of greatest interest to most people is retrieval. Memory and retrieval cannot be separated.
Memory is determined by what kind of retrieval is activated.
It is better to think of memory in terms of a process rather than in terms of a specific location. Brain-Based Learning with Class is an innovative workbook that addresses discoveries in brain research and that is designed to help teachers develop brain based teaching strategies. After the introduction, the authors analyse the brain, both in terms of its parts and its functioning. From a physiological perspective, issues such as emotional state, nutrition, individual differences, brain body coordination, memory and stress are reviewed. For example, in the discussion of the change of state, all sorts of activities are reviewed which could change the emotional temperament of a room.
