Episode description

In this episode of "Neuroscience for Learning," Stella Collins and Jaan Couvreur explore how our brains learn and the challenges we face in applying that knowledge in the professional context.

They introduce the concept of building a brain, highlighting the brainstem, central cerebrum, and cerebral cortex, and how they contribute to our learning processes. With a focus on the importance of applying knowledge through active engagement, they present the GEAR methodology—a four-step approach involving guiding, experimenting, applying, and retaining knowledge.

By understanding the energy demands of our brains and utilising effective learning strategies like spaced repetition, they emphasise the transformation of learning from knowing to doing.

Join Stella and Jaan on this captivating journey from neuroscience to practical application in the workplace.
