There are two basic categories of learning science: Cognitive neuroscience & Cognitive psychology.

Neuroscience focuses on the brain’s structure and the regions that are activated when people engage in various tasks.

Psychology, on the other hand, focuses on the mind and behavior.

This article explores the various fundamental issues with the use and misuse of Neuro-science in educational practice.

Salience Theory of Learning:
Species’ brains are uniquely designed to perceive and to relate stimulus events that are contiguous, salient, and relevant to adaptation.

Training past the point of improvement is called ‘overlearning.’

A recent study in Nature Neuroscience suggests that such post improvement training might further improve performance by altering chemicals in the brain that “lock” in training.

Tweet: Most improvements in learning motor task comes during the breaks between practice sessions

A study published recently in Current Biology has found that most of the improvement while learning a motor task comes not while actually practicing, but instead during the breaks between practice sessions. https://t.co/yO66fv0IIV

Research has shown that taking breaks is an important part of learning.
A new study suggests that even small breaks which amount to seconds are also vital for learning new skills.

A study published recently titled “A Rapid Form of Offline Consolidation in Skill Learning” has found that most of the improvement while learning a motor task comes not while actually practicing, but instead during the breaks between practice sessions.

Also watch the presentation of “Press Pause when you Play: Comparing Spaced Practice Intervals for Skill Development in Games”. This study provides new information that can aid in the design of practice schedules for perceptual-motor tasks in games. It looked at the optimum amount of time breaks (rest) for learning in video game environment.

You may be discouraged from becoming an entrepreneur because you don’t look like the kinds of founders that you see in popular culture. You may be thinking you need to be like Mark Zuckerberg or @BillGates, but the latest research shows that this is not true! 1/5 pic.twitter.com/lcdsaO0JpP

For example, the our headcanon on view of entrepreneurs is that they are YOUNG maybe even college drop outs. But the average age of founders is 42. And the average age of a founder who creates a hypergrowth company is 45! 2/5 pic.twitter.com/Pmvz2MHdno

Many of the successful entrepreneurs that we reference a lot are also MEN. There are lots of reasons why their are fewer female entrepreneurs, and lots of barriers to women-led startups, but… women appear to be just as good as men at running startups, once they are underway. 3/ pic.twitter.com/SyakwZS7Wa

You may also notice that many of these companies are FOUNDED WITH FRIENDS. Research by Jason Greenberg and myself shows that companies founded by family members often survive longest. Those founded by coworkers are second best. 4/5 pic.twitter.com/CEGnRpvRL5

Finally, many people think founders need certain PERSONALITY TRAITS. But there are very few personality factors that impact startup success, and those that do (like a belief in your own abilities) are pretty weak. So don’t let stereotypes of entrepreneurship discourage you! 5/5

Switching between two or three chunks of information while studying will aid Meta-Cognition and Contract effect. More than three at the same time maybe counter productive.#learning #education #edtech
