Attribution
How do we describe the “cause” of behavior??? - Internal (dispositional)
- External (situational)

What the Brain Needs to Learn
Exercise Sleep Oxygen Hydration Food (glucose)
That sets the stage…..THEN there must be…

Exercise
Exercise – is the single
most important thing a person can do to improve learning.
(John Ratey, 2008, Spark – The Revolutionary New
Science of Exercise and the Brain)

Exercise
Ratey (2008) has shown that exercise
increases the production of vital neurotransmitters important for: Focusing and Attention Motivation Patience Mood

Sleep and Rest
Sleep and Rest – Researchers at the NYU’s Department of Psychology and Center for Neural Science have found that rest directly after learning increases retention
A NASA study found astronauts who napped for 27 minutes in the afternoon improved their cognitive functioning on later day tasks by 34% over nonnapping astronauts(Medina, 2008).

Awake, but NOT Learning
Corelli, 2011 notes that when a
person’s brain is sleep deprived the person may actually feel fully awake and yet the neurons needed for learning and memory shut down. Essentially, basic functions operate, but complex tasks are not encoded.

Food/Hydration
Food (glucose) --- Complex
carbohydrates (vegetables and whole grains) MUCH better than simple sugars

Learners must be taught to take a metacognitive approach. Bransford, et al., How People Learn, 1999 http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=6160

Types of CATs
Minute Paper (check understanding at end of class session)
Muddiest Point (check understanding at end of class session)
One-Sentence Summary (check understanding at end of class session)
Directed Paraphrasing (check understanding of a concept)
Lecture Checks (Mazur’s Technique) Card Passing (very good for sensitive topics)
