Brain based education: Fad or breakthrough--high quality

For helping educators distinguish between "educashin" and "education" - thank you

Thank you.

Cool.. MAKE MORE

"In education the behavioral data is enough" (regardless of whether the brain data supports or contradicts it). Excellent point. Behavioral data is still where educators should focus their research and practice.

Awesome Video! Thanks for Sharing.

Thank you for this explanation. It makes perfect sense. I have been trying to figure out what my daughter's learning style is. She has a photographic memory, but memorizing isn't learning in its entirety, though her photographic memory helps. She could count to 20 before she understood what she was doing, because she remembered the number graph, but she didn't understand what to do with those numbers. She uses visual, auditory, and kinesthetic processes as tools for learning.

Your entire premise (tug-o-war vs jogging) is wrong. One activity has people "joined" in an activity. Their fates are tied. The jogging example is concurrent activities, they just happen to be next to each other. I can't believe you would base your argument on this since you are a scientist. The rest of your video, then, is flawed. You are talking about very specific structures and most "brain based education" is about general trends (attention span, memory strategies, music, movement, etc...)

The reason the woman ran a longer distance and felt less tired is simply because she was distracted during her run (with talking). Perhaps she's attracted to the man she's running with...there are a multitude of reasons why that particular jog coudl've been better.

What if she ran with him the next day and he pointed out that she looks fat in her new shorts? Having her weighed herself that very morning she noticed she gained a 2lbs. Now her run seemed tiring and she didn't want to run at all.

Excellent video (as are your others). Thank you for sharing this.
