These effects depend on interactions between NA and cortisol in the amygdala and are thus often stronger for emotional than for neutral learning material." Also this - "Stress does not only induce a deficit in memory retrieval and memory updating, it also changes the way information is stored and retrieved by multiple memory systems. Stress before learning may bias students towards rigid forms of learning, which may hinder the successful transfer of knowledge and reduce cognitive flexibility in problem solving"]]> 2023-08-01 22:23:07 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan_rockwell/gfgbyx6futczabsh/wish/2654387267 bryan_rockwell https://padlet.com/bryan_rockwell/gfgbyx6futczabsh/wish/2654388420 Quick and easy guide to understanding how neurons work - great resource for students!]]> 2023-08-01 22:27:44 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan_rockwell/gfgbyx6futczabsh/wish/2654388420 bryan_rockwell https://padlet.com/bryan_rockwell/gfgbyx6futczabsh/wish/2654389711 Another excellent resource for students, especially when I'm encouraging them to practice their writing.

My only concern is its analysis of closed-book v. open-book testing - it seems like a more complicated comparison than the article is acknowledging, considering what exactly students are being tested about, why they should care about that material, and the difference between testing to learn and testing for a grade. Some articles seem to be missing the real-life component of these ideas - i.e., students have limited time and often recognize that much of what they learn in any given subject will have NO relevance to what they do with the rest of their lives.]]> 2023-08-04 19:31:07 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan_rockwell/gfgbyx6futczabsh/wish/2656260630 bryan_rockwell https://padlet.com/bryan_rockwell/gfgbyx6futczabsh/wish/2656261097 By the time I'm done changing the optional materials to include these TEDTalks, students are going to think I'm obsessed with TEDTalks...]]> 2023-08-04 19:32:50 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan_rockwell/gfgbyx6futczabsh/wish/2656261097 bryan_rockwell https://padlet.com/bryan_rockwell/gfgbyx6futczabsh/wish/2656289684 Good article on the neuromyth and how the brain actually functions - could be useful to share with students depending on their belief in the neuromyth.]]> 2023-08-04 21:22:51 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan_rockwell/gfgbyx6futczabsh/wish/2656289684 bryan_rockwell https://padlet.com/bryan_rockwell/gfgbyx6futczabsh/wish/2656290662 Offers a definition, examples, teaching strategies, and how to show students the value of metacognition.
