In this episode of "The Neuroscience of Learning," Stella Collins and Tina Harris delve into the fascinating world of motivating minds and bodies to learn. They explore the crucial role neurotransmitters play in our brain states during the learning process, highlighting the significance of curiosity fuelled by dopamine, attention supported by acetylcholine, and satisfaction triggered by serotonin. They emphasise the negative impact of stress on learning, attributed to cortisol and adrenaline.Tina shares valuable insights on promoting motivation and skill automation, emphasising the importance of understanding learners' "why" and incorporating it into the learning design. They discuss creating a safe and challenging environment, encouraging guesswork and contribution, and fostering curiosity through novel approaches. The goal is to ignite learners' intrinsic motivation, cultivate engagement, and facilitate effective knowledge transfer.Join them in exploring the intriguing world of neuroscience in learning.
