Mind & Brain

After reading this chapter, I found myself, once again, bored with the scientific implications of our brain developments and all the theories. I understand the importance of these findings, but as a non-scientist, I am lost in translation. So, I will comment on things that I have a small understanding to:

Under the topic, “Does mere neural activity change the brain or is learning required?” I conclude that learning and experience are ways that condition our brain. As such, we all learn by different means and many different factors affect that ability.

Student’s are unique in their right, and thus are conditioned by different factors when it comes to learning. As teachers, we are tasked with activating these conditions in order to get the most out of our students. We may need to try different methods and approaches, but the outcome and fact of the experiments conducted is the mere fact that learning is possible, it’s up to us to ensure that it is achieved.
