In this episode, Stella and Karen delve into the fascinating world of neuroplasticity and its impact on learning. Join us as we explore how our brains form and reform connections through the use of glucose, electricity, and chemicals.
Discover the truth about the brain's capacity to change and adapt, debunking the myth of its fixed nature. Learn about Hebb's Law and how neurons that fire together wire together, creating interconnected networks that enable us to perform cognitive tasks. But how can we harness neuroplasticity in practical learning scenarios? Enter the power of play. Find out how playfulness triggers creativity, enhances brain connections, and promotes thinking outside the box.
Discover simple yet effective strategies to incorporate play into learning, including adapting favourite games, using multisensory elements, and fostering social interaction. Uncover the benefits of play for adults, from better memory to cognitive flexibility and stress regulation.
So, whether you're a learner or an educator, join us on this exciting journey as we unlock the potential of neuroplasticity and play in the world of learning.
