LEARNING: 3 aspects: intake, storage (memory–glue that links experiences)--long and short term (repetition, LTP long term potentiation, brain is looking for patterns, neuroplasticity. 


  • Stress can aid in learning: Unfamiliar information→ forced to learn something that doesn’t fit. 

    • Limbic system

    • Activation of amygdala → cortisol → stress → 

      • Optimize you stress! 

        • Too little = boredom 

        • Too much = frustrated

        • Failure is in the feedback of learning
