New insights into how the human brain learns make it clear that many of the learning practices faculty used in the past, and students continue to use, are highly inefficient, ineffective, or just plain wrong. Worse yet, individuals who get bad grades...
"We want to understand how people learn and where in the brain this learning takes place. While this is still basic science, this research could one day potentially help people who have had a stroke or other brain trauma in their rehabilitation process," says Richard Andersen, the James G. ...
We propose that the human brain learns novel objects in complex scenes by reorganizing shape processing across visual areas, while taking advantage of natural image correlations that determine the distinctiveness of target shapes. Learning to recognize objects involves distinct neural changes in several ...
Children are not learning to read, it is brains that are.This rhetorical device is presumably notsimply echoing the author's previous publications, How the Brain Learns, How the Special NeedsBrain Learns, How the Gifted Brain Learns, and The Leadership Brain.The goal of theDOI...
Researchers uncovered for the first time what happens in animals' brains when they learn from subconscious, visual stimuli. In time, this knowledge can lead to new treatments for a number of conditions. The study, a collaboration between KU Leuven, Massa
appear. This increased efficiency makes perfect sense: new stimuli may gain our attention, but do not cause an unnecessarily strong reaction that costs us energy. While this may appear trivial at first, so far there has been very little research into this fact in the context of brain ...
"We're exploring questions like, 'What did you expect to happen?' to reshape how the brain learns from experiences," Chiu said. This approach aims to go beyond symptom management, targeting the brain processes that drive specific symptoms of depression. ...
Ullman says, though researchers know little about which genes underlie language, numerous genes playing particular roles in the two brain systems have been identified. The findings from this new study suggest that these genes may also play similar roles in language. ...
Facial recognition technology has advanced swiftly in the last five years. As University of Texas at Dallas researchers try to determine how computers have gotten as good as people at the task, they are also shedding light on how the human brain sorts information. ...
intended goals, AI may change human thought processes and human values. AlphaGo defeated the world Go champions by making strategically unprecedented moves—moves that humans had not conceived and have not yet successfully learned to overcome. Are these moves beyond the capacity of the human brain?
