Biology Of Learning Analysis
The human brain doesn’t only grow physically, it also grows by learning. The biology of learning is very interesting and taught me what learning really is like what is does, when it is done, and how it can be done better. The brain can learn to multi-task, to learn better by sleeping, and to understand information by what type of learner we are. This essay will tell you how the brain works and some other things you need to know about learning.
In the essay “The Biology of Learning”, Stephen Londe tells us information to help us understand what learning really is. The essay says “Learning is a biological process” and says that it has two components: understanding and observing. When the brain learns, a biochemical, physiological, imaging, and …show more content…
An auditory learner learns mostly through hearing and reviewing notes form lectures or tapes. A visual learner learns mostly through seeing and using visual aids for a concept or idea and also can sometimes learn by drawing it out or using materials. A tactile learner learns mostly through repetition by writing something down again and again and to make notes or study sheets. Each learner differs in many ways but most of them try to multitask. Multitasking is actually not real, but is more of just attention switching. When someone is “multitasking” they are just taking their focus from one task and switching it to another task constantly, taking more brain energy and increasing stress. The essay says that those who tend to multitask, more likely get low grades due to the split attention on their main task and sharing it with another task.
Although each type of learner has a better way of learning, each type can increase their amount of learning, by sleeping. Stephen Londe says that when a person sleeps right after they have learned great amount of information, the information just learned causes the memory to consolidate and become easier to be traced for later. It consolidates by linking neuron connections together and makes them stronger, more likely to be a long-term or working memory. He also says that “There is a small measurable and significant increase in
