Capella University's FlexPath Learning Format lets you take courses at your speed and move on to the next one whenever you're ready. The more you go over something over and over again, you're actually teaching these neurons to fire together and then they regrow. Some people will remember something forever upon learning it once and others have to keep being reminded of it. Emotions, tag memories as important. So we call those flash bold memories. No one under 30 knows what a flash bold is. Can you please tell us?
How do our brains learn? On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Dave Bakker learn about learning at the Pocketlab Science Is Cool Virtual Unconference with neuroscientist Heather Berlin, PhD.
