I researched chapter 5, Mind and Brain,Brandsford and Brown text. This chapter explores how neuro and cognitive sciences are helping us to understand how people are able to think and learn. One of the largest reasons they have been successful in accumulating this information is because of the imaging technology for the brain. The development of the PET and FMRI machines have allowed them to study the brain without harming anyone. They have discovered that it is a combination of nature and nurture for brain development. In order to build up a successful learner, educators should incorporate prior knowledge while focusing more on the concrete learning experience. There should be more focus on comprehension and understanding of the material then memorization of straight facts and details. As educators, we should be dependent on collaborating as a learning community to create a supportive learning environment. We have the ability to guide student's to success.
