  3. Attention • We don’t pay attention to boring things.

  4. Short term memory • We have about 30 seconds to repeat something for it to be remembered. • We then have another 2 hour window. • Homework is new learning.

  5. Initial Learning • Students must pay attention to learn. • “The novel stimuli – the unusual, the unpredictable, or distintive – are powerful ways to harness attention.” (Pg. 76, Brain Rules.) • “Emotions get our attention.” (Pg. 79, Brain Rules.)

  6. TPRS class and memory“People usually forget 90% of what they learn in a class within 30 days.”

  7. Most of what we learn is visual • Dramatize the story • Props • Laughter • Emotion

  8. The initial learning is important • If new information is not repeated within 30 seconds it will not be remembered. • “One could increase the life span of a memory simply by repeating the information in timed intervals.” (Page 100, Brain Rules)

  9. Two types of memories • Declarative like “the shirt is blue” or “Jupiter is a planet.” • Nondeclarative memories are not in our conscious awareness, such a motor skills like riding a bike. • Learning about a language is declarative. It is learning facts. • Learning to speak a language is a motor skill.

  10. “Information is remembered best when it is elaborate, meaningful and contextual.” (Brain Rules page 110) • In TPRS we add as many details as we can. Each detail increases the chance the students will remember.

  11. What we remember after 24 hours HEAR 5% READ 10% AUDIO-VISUAL 20% DEMONSTRATE 30% DISCUSS 50% DO 75% EXPLAIN/APPLY 90% Source: Dr. D. Sousa “How the brain learns”

  12. Personalization • Learning is best with “real world experiences.”
