Presentation Transcript

  1. 1) List your earliest memory. What specifically stands out? 2) Discuss this memory with a partner. We will hear a sample.

  2. Neurobiology Lessons:What Medical Educators Need to Know Garrett Meyers, MD Lesley Hamilton, MSOM, MACM February 25, 2012

  3. Objectives • Examine the neurobiology of learning and memory • Explore the 7 principles most relevant to medical education • Compile a “toolkit” of techniques harnessing each principle

  4. Take-Home Points • Education changes brains! • Consider these changes when planning learning sessions • Use your toolbox of evidence-based educational practices

  5. Increasing reference availability reflects the growth of our knowledge.

  6. Remember – the brain is an organ.

  7. The brain has three major divisions.

  8. The limbic system includes structures responsible for long-term memory storage.

  9. The cerebral cortex is inextricably linked to the limbic system.

  10. Information Processing Model

  11. Long-Term Storage Working memory Immediate memory STORING RETRIEVING OUT OUT Sensory Register OUT

  12. Self-Image Cognitive Belief System

  13. Activity – IP Model In your folders are information sheets with four primary roles for the Information processing Model. Each individual should take 2-3 minutes to read their role and prepare to discuss with your table. 1. Sensory Register 2. Immediate memory 3. Working memory 4. Long-term Storage / Memory

  14. Long-Term Storage Working memory Immediate memory STORING RETRIEVING OUT OUT Sensory Register OUT

  15. The brain has > 1 billion neurons.

  16. An increased number and strength of synaptic connections form when learning.

  17. Memory is a dynamic process.

  18. So What? - Activity • Using your handout, take a moment to rank the seven principles of neurobiology listed, in order of their importance to your teaching efforts. • We will poll for your results.

  19. Seven Principles for Education Active Engagement Attention Short-Term Memory Long-Term Memory Stress Sensory Integration Vision and Visualization

  20. 1) Active Engagement

  21. Functional changes in neural circuitry occur best when the learner is actively engaged. Active Engagement

  22. Medical education is slowly changing. Active Engagement

  23. Board Activity #1 • With your table, use the sheets provided to list strategies that you have used or will use to harness the principle of active engagement.

  24. 2) Attention

  25. “Multitasking, when it comes to paying attention, is a myth.”- Dr. John Medina

  26. After 10 minutes, audience attention steadily drops. Attention

  27. After 10 minutes, tell a story, show a video, have the learners do something.Keep it relevant! Attention

  28. 3) Short term memory “______________ is the key to adult learning.”

  29. “Going deeper,” rather than touching on all information, results in deeper understanding and better retention. Short-term memory

  30. 4) Long-term memory

  31. Memory is not fixed at the moment of learning. Repetition, with appropriate spacing, is the fixative. Long-term memory

  32. Long-Term Storage Working memory SENSE STORING RETRIEVING MEANING OUT

  33. Board Activity #2 • With your table, use the sheets provided to list strategies that you have used or will use to harness the principles of attention and repetition.

  34. 5) Stress

  35. Stress can generate molecular signals that facilitate synaptic potentiation.Moderation is key. Stress

  36. 6) Sensory Integration

  37. What do you think of when you see the word “orange?” 1512

  38. How does the use of all the senses help in learning and developing long-term memory? Sensory Integration

  39. 7) Vision and Visualization

  40. Visual cues, and even visualization, cause the firing of sets of “mirror neurons” in the premotor cortex. Vision / Visualization

  41. Board Activity #3 • With your table, use the sheets provided to list strategies that you have used or will use to harness the principles of stress, sensory integration, and visualization.

  42. Seven Principles for Education Active Engagement Attention Short-Term Memory Long-Term Memory Stress Sensory Integration Vision and Visualization

  43. Other Principles • Exercise • Sleep / Fatigue

  44. Inside its bony castle, the brain needs movement!

  45. Sleep is instrumental in moving learning into memory.

  46. What year was the first recorded use in English of the color name orange?

  47. Take-Home Points • Education changes brains! • Consider these changes when planning learning sessions • Use your toolbox of evidence-based educational practices

  48. Commitment to Act How will you incorporate these principles in your teaching? • Your feedback is important to us!
