  1. EffectiveInstructionSeries 2010 July 26 August 2 - 5 Brain Basics Boosting Retention

  2. Objective • You will be able to… • Identify and explain research-based ways to boost retention • Key Concepts: • Information Processing Model • Primacy-Recency • Sense & Meaning • VAK

  3. Clock Partner • Find your 6:00 clock partner and talk about what you observe about the information processing model.

  4. Sousa, D. (2001). How the Brain Learns Information Processing Model

  5. APL (Sharer, Anastasio, & Perry, 2007, p. 29) Primacy-Recency Effect “During a learning episode we remember best that which comes first, second best that which comes last and least that which comes just past the middle” (Sousa, 90).

  6. Memory Task • I am going to quickly read a list of 10 things you might find in your desk. • After I have read the list you will write down as many of the names as you can.

  7. Paper clips • Stapler • Marker • Sticky notes • Notepad • Pencil • Ruler • Calculator • White out • Glue

  8. Primacy-Recency from How the Brain Learns by David Sousa

  9. Amount of Prime Learning Time • 20 minute episode • 18 prime time (90%), 2 down time • 40 minute episode • 30 prime time (75%), 10 down time • 80 minute episode • 50 minute time (62%), 30 down time

  10. APL (Sharer, Anastasio, & Perry, 2007, p. 27) Serial Positioning

  11. Does this new learning make sense? Does this new learning have meaning? The learning brain asks two questions before it stores info.

  12. Makes Sense Has Meaning High Chance of Remembering Makes Sense Little Meaning Moderate Chance of Remembering Makes Sense Little Sense Little Meaning Little Chance of Remembering Has Meaning Little Sense Moderate Chance of Remembering Has Meaning

  13. VAK • Visual • Primary source of input • More developed in digital natives • Auditory • Choral response • Both listening and speaking • Kinesthetic • Least used • Solid, liquid, gas example

  14. Importance of Processing Time • The brain needs time to create connections and pathways to create long term memories. • The hippocampus can only hold so much • example of glass of water • Too much, too fast, it won’t Last.

  15. Closure • Find your 9:00 clock partner and share one thing you heard about the brain that is important/relevant to your professional practice.
