The Brain and it's many roads of learning

# data[].attributes.body
Episodic memory is used when remembering something that happened.

# data[].attributes.body
Procedural memory is used when recalling how to perform a task.

# data[].attributes.body
Recalling facts is making use of semantic memory.

Memory that gets solidified in our mind based on what was felt during that experience is emotional memory.

# data[].attributes.body
Short-term memory is what gets utilized to make use of something that was learned or seen moments ago.

# data[].attributes.body
Sensory memory brings to mind what was recently experienced by our senses.

When thinking about what needs to be done, the prospective memory is used.

Learning and memories = connections being made

# data[].attributes.body
The brain learns as memories are made. Memories are made as information is stored and connected throughout various parts of the brain. Once a memory is stored, the connection can be eliminated if the information is deemed unnecessary. However, the more valid an experience or stronger the emotions felt the stronger the connection and thus retention of the memory becomes.

A brain that does not feel safe or in control will not be able to take short-term memory and develop long-term memories. This brain is too preoccupied with chaos and disorder to function at it's peak.

An educator needs to help their students find the classroom safe and engaging to reinforce positive feelings that open the pathway for successful learning as opposed to learning that flies away within moments of it being imparted.

# data[].attributes.body
A way for educators to help reinforce the formation of memories is to allow their students to have time to perform a task repeatedly. Procedural memory will take effect.

Using humor and engaging students in an open discussion about the subject matter will help the students make an emotional connection to the memory the teacher is trying to impart.

# data[].attributes.body
Semantic memory will be implemented as students are asked to review, repeat, and memorize facts like addition or times tables.

# data[].attributes.body
As new facts and information are learned, some knowlege and memories will help the connections in the brain become stronger leading to a positive transfer of information.

# data[].attributes.body
There are times when information from a student's past will prevent them from being able to make sense of new material; this is called negative transfer.

Connections or wiring in the brain is constantly changing and growing as learning occurs and memories are made.
