Neurolearning is the study of how the brain learns and processes information, with the goal of improving educational practices and outcomes. Neurolearning combines knowledge from neuroscience, psychology, and education to better understand how the brain learns and to develop more effective teaching strategies. It involves examining how the brain receives, stores, and retrieves information, as well as how different learning experiences impact the brain function and structure. By understanding the neurological processes involved in learning, Neurolearning aims to optimize educational approaches and helps individuals learn more effectively.
Neurolearning makes it easier for your brain to learn by applying and integrating the latest scientific research (neuroscience) into educational practices to optimize learning outcomes. Here are some examples of Neurolearning as applied neuroscience to enhance how we teach and learn:
Contextual learning is more effective as learning is made more relevant and meaningful for the learner. Providing context and real-world examples can help learners to better understand and remember new information.
Personalization involves tailoring the learning experience to individual needs and preferences of each learner. Personalization promotes higher relevance, engagement and motivation by creating stronger connections between new information and existing knowledge.
Emotional engagement involves tapping into learners’ emotions to create a more engaging and memorable learning experience. Emotional engagement promotes higher retention by creating stronger associations between new information and emotional experiences.
Multisensory learning involves engaging multiple senses in the learning process, such as sight, sound, and touch. Multisensory learning promotes deeper learning and retention by stimulating multiple areas of the brain and creating stronger connections between new information and existing knowledge.
Learning can be a complex, yet intuitive, process that involves many neurological processes working together. Neurolearning is informed by how the brain learns, and designs learning solutions to help your brain learn intuitively (easier, faster, more effectively).
