Opening Session: Aha! The Neuroscience of Learning - GEO Learning Conference 2019

What happens in our brains when we learn? Neuroscience, the study of the brain and nervous system and their impact on behavior, tells us that we learn and create habits through personal "aha" moments. These aha moments, or insights, include two components integral to the act of learning: curiosity and creativity. Lisa Slavid, kicked off GEO's Learning Conference 2019 by sharing the science behind how creativity and curiosity work together to enable transformative learning.
