EDITORS' NOTES 1(2)
Sandra Johnson, Kathleen Taylor
1. Key Aspects of How the Brain Learns 3(8)
James E. Zull
An introduction to how the basic architecture of the brain undergirds memory, learning, and construction of meaning.
2. Neuroscience and Adult Learning 11(10)
Louis Cozolino, Susan Spro hay
Understanding how learning changes the brain enables adult educators and mentors to facilitate such changes more effectively.
3. Fear and Learning: Trauma-Related Factors in the Adult Education Process 21(8)
Bruce D. Perry
Stress-inducing experiences can affect learning throughout the lifespan, but educators can help adults overcome these effects.
4. Brain Self-Repair in Psychotherapy: Implications for Education 29(6)
Colin A. Ross
Given that both learning and therapy can change the brain, adult educators may look to aspects of the therapeutic process as a guide to practice.
5. The Role of Meaning and Emotion in Learning 35(8)
Pat Wolfe
Meaning is constructed as the brain creates or refines neural networks. Emotions play a role in what is learned and what is retained.
6. Experience, Consciousness, and Learning: Implications for Instruction 43(10)
Barry G. Shealey, Sandy Bell
Understanding the key role that experience plays in learning and in the development of consciousness can inform educators' practice.
7. Meaningful Learning and the Executive Functions of the Brain 53(10)
Geoffrey Caine, Renate Nummela Caine
Constructivist perspectives can effectively inform teaching practice and be used to initiate and sustain "relaxed alertness" in adult learners.
8. The Neuroscience of the Mentor-Learner Relationship 63(8)
Sandra Johnson
Using the lenses of cognitive neuroscience and social cognitive neuroscience, the chapter explores the relationship between learner and mentor.
9. Brain Function and Adult Learning: Implications for Practice 71(16)
Kathleen Taylor
Understanding neurobiology can support adult educators' practice, particularly when their objectives include developmental growth.
