Brain Fact Friday on ”The Neuroscience of Learning”

<p>Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast for Brain Fact Friday and EPISODE #167 on “The Neuroscience of Learning” that was inspired with an upcoming interview with cognitive neuroscience researcher John Harmon, who will take us through how learning happens in the brain as well as understanding what happens when performing a task (like throwing a football) while under stress.</p> <p>In Today’s Brain Fact Friday, You Will Learn:</p> <p>✔︎ The two most important ingredients required for learning and how they relate to your brain.</p> <p>✔︎ Why being a know-it-all will get you nowhere when it comes to teaching and learning.</p> <p>✔︎ How to use self-reflection to become more self-aware of your own learning process.</p> <p>I'm Andrea Samadi, author, and educator from Toronto, Canada, now in Arizona, and like many of our listeners, have been fascinated with learning and understanding the science behind high performance strategies in our schools, our sports, and workplace environments with ideas that we can all use, understand and implement immediately.</p> <p>This week, while preparing for our upcoming interviews, I had the opportunity to stop and think before writing this week’s Brain Fact Friday. Sometimes life is so busy, that we miss this opportunity to reflect on where we began, and where we are going, and just peddle forward without this reflection, missing some powerful moments of learning. Whatever it is that you are working on, take a minute to look back to where you started. It will help you to see how far you have come, and give you boost that I’m sure you could use at this moment. This will create momentum to help propel you forward, while increasing your own self-confidence with this self-reflection. This is actually a question in Brendon Burchard’s High Performance Planner<a href='#_edn1'>[i]</a> that was written based on the world’s largest study of high performers and how they increase productivity and win.</p> <p>When looking at where we starte
