The Neuroscience of Learning - Bruce McCandliss

Bruce McCandliss, professor in Stanford’s Graduate School of Education and the director of the Stanford Center for Mind, Brain and Computation, speaks about brain-imaging technology that is revolutionizing the study of educational experiences and their effect on the brain.

Neuroscience is the best branch of study

" Human brain hasn't made from the beginning to read and write . Reading and writing is a skill . We must celebrate every child who writes and reads " . Maryanne Wolf

The Vedas were not written down for a very long time yet are very sophisticated. Learned. IN addition, those first symbols that you showed, use a different faculties than an alphabet and how it is assembled. I'm ADHD, Dyslexic and Autistic. I'm not certain that trading off all of those faculties that the restructuring of the brain should be forsaken. They are very valuable. They were not a barrier for learning in times prior to the alphabet. The Vedic Brahmens, the Irish Bardic Schools...I think there are many more things to consider. Auditory and visual learning is still learning and can be just as sophisticated as any other.

Brain activity reflecting different modes of attention is shown here, but there's no mention of how it compares with the children's pre-existing learning states, to what extent a new activity pattern is enduring, or whether enhanced activity does, in fact, better facilitate learning potential. From the literacy improvements in the NY school systems we might surmise improved learning, but from this brief presentation, we aren't shown any functional cognitive improvements. Neither is there mention of confounding factors having been ruled out, such as teachers' increased interest and engagement with their students (in response to an exciting research opportunity) or other academic changes in those settings at that time that were unrelated to the research.

Maybe those issues had been addressed and just aren't presented here, or maybe they've been pursued since this was posted in 2015.

an animal footprint in the forest is a symbol, a branch that is broken and has fur on it is another one. Each has meaning that early humans gave to it in order to survive. Reading symbols is not a rewired neurological ability that came with reading on a tablet, or a cave wall...writing is condensing information on a support as it expands..

Took way too long to get to the findings and their implications for practice and further research.

So what u say is when a student concentrates, he learns !! Wow
