Your Brain by the Numbers. Berkeley researchers map out how our brains categorize the things we see. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have created a map showing how and where the brain categorizes the actions and objects we see every day.
The study began by taking five human subjects and placing them in an MRI machine while they each watched two hours of movie trailers. Each of the trailers had been analyzed to track the different objects and types of motion present — a leaf holding still, or a butterfly flying, for example. Does Thinking Change The Shape Of Your Brain? Here’s a puzzler for you. Does thinking change the shape of your brain? For example, does contemplating this question actually physically change your brain? Before you get your brain all tied up in knots, I’ll save you some time. Yes.

Montreal, February 12, 2013 – If you started piano lessons in grade one, or played the recorder in kindergarten, thank your parents and teachers. Those lessons you dreaded – or loved – helped develop your brain. A study published last month in the Journal of Neuroscience suggests that musical training before the age of seven has a significant effect on the development of the brain, showing that those who began early had stronger connections between motor regions – the parts of the brain that help you plan and carry out movements.
This research was carried out by students in the laboratory of Concordia University psychology professor Virginia Penhune, and in collaboration with Robert J.

Judy Willis, M.D., M.Ed. Teachers are the caretakers of the development of students’ highest brain during the years of its most extensive changes. As such, they have the privilege and opportunity to influence the quality and quantity of neuronal and connective pathways so all children leave school with their brains optimized for future success. This introduction to the basics of the neuroscience of learning includes information that should be included in all teacher education programs.

By TeachThought Staff Editor’s Note: This post has been updated from a 2012 post. Problem-based learning and project-based learning provide a rich opportunity for students to deepen their knowledge, expand their repertoire of technical skills, and enhance their appreciation of thinking tools, processes and strategies. It is not enough, however, to understand concepts and principles and to solve that one problem, as challenging as it might be. Meet Your 7 Fascination Triggers.

Switching attention in the blink of an eye. Blinking is a spontaneous action that serves an important role: it spreads tears across the surface of the eye, keeping it moist and clean so that it can work properly.
Yet most of us blink every three or four seconds, far more frequent than is needed for lubrication and cleaning, and exactly why is unknown. New research now suggests that blinking may also play an active role in brain function – it may "reset" our attention mechanism, enabling us to switch our focus from one thing to another. Attention has a limited capacity and is highly selective. Seiniin tuijottelun jalo taito - Jani Kaaron kolumnit - Kotimaa. Go Climb a Tree. Dear Joel, Micah and Brenna, You love to climb trees.

Reinventing School - A Design Thinking Challenge by Your Learning Partner - Brendan. Edward de Bono - discusses Lateral Thinking™ Lateral thinking. Lateral thinking is solving problems through an indirect and creative approach, using reasoning that is not immediately obvious and involving ideas that may not be obtainable by using only traditional step-by-step logic. The term was coined in 1967 by Edward de Bono. [1] According to de Bono, lateral thinking deliberately distances itself from standard perceptions of creativity as either "vertical" logic (the classic method for problem solving: working out the solution step-by-step from the given data) or "horizontal" imagination (having many ideas but being unconcerned with the detailed implementation of them).
Methods[edit] Critical thinking is primarily concerned with judging the true value of statements and seeking errors. Lateral thinking is more concerned with the "movement value" of statements and ideas. Random Entry Idea Generating Tool: The thinker chooses an object at random, or a noun from a dictionary, and associates it with the area they are thinking about.
