Reflection on Neuroscience

As I was making my way through the materials for week four, a couple of points stood out. I have captured them here for future reference or review.

Alvin Toffler, in his book Rethinking the Future states that "the illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn" (para. 20).

This resource focuses on effective learning strategies to retain and recall information.

The reason why storytelling is so powerful is that "your brain remembers pictures first. It then remembers the emotional context, and finally, it remembers language" (para. 4). There is a connection between the emotion, the image and then the language, or the point of the story or presentation.
