  4. THALAMUS: TEENAGEATTENTION-GETTING REGION

  5. LIMBIC SYSTEM- TEEN THINKING CENTER • EMOTIONS • MOTIVATION MORE & LESS • EMOTIONAL ASSOCIATION

  6. Long Term Memory External Stimulus Sensory Memory Retrieval Coding Initial Processing Working Memory Forgotten Repetition Forgotten

  7. LEARNING & MEMORY • Learning: A change in the nervous system caused by some event that in turn causes a change in behavior. Learning in nervous system: Requires a change in the physical structure or biochemistry of a synapse. Process is called synaptic plasticity.

  8. LEARNING & MEMORY • A group of neurons is repeatedly activated by new stimuli. • Synaptic connections between them will be strengthened. • Circuit will contain the new information. • Neurons that fire together- • wire together.

  9. LEARNING & MEMORYSTRATEGIES Positive Climate Global thinking/connections Predictions Undivided Attention Higher Motivation-Goals Directed Focus
