Different Trumps Same: Getting the Brain to Pay Attention

  • 2. For teachers, trainers, instructors, and presenters From Using Brain Science to Make Training Stick by Sharon Bowman
  • 4. so this presentation is about you as well as about the people you teach, train, and instruct.
  • 6. The human brain is genetically hardwired to notice 4 general things:
  • 8. The brain pays more attention to things in the environment that are new to a person’s experience.
  • 10. The brain pays more attention to things that are in contrast to other things in the environment OR to things that are in contrast to what came before.
  • 12. Meaning The brain pays more attention to anything that a person determines is meaningful to him or her.
  • 14. The brain pays more attention to anything that makes a person respond emotionally.
  • 15. Can you write down the 4 general things the brain notices (without looking back at the slides)?
  • 18. The brain quickly learns to ignore anything that is routine, repetitive, predictable, or just plain boring.
  • 20. how do you keep environments like these from becoming routine, repetitive, predictable, and boring? How do you get – and keep – the brain’s attention?
  • 22. You already know the answer: Add novelty, contrast, meaning and emotion to the learning environment.
  • 23. Can you spot the novelty and contrast illustrated by the next slide?
  • 27. Can you spot the meaning and emotion illustrated by the next two slides?
  • 33. You have just given your brain an oxygen boost which will help you learn better. You can encourage learners to do the same in order to get more oxygen to THEIR brains.
  • 34. Choose the correct word or phrase in the parenthesis to complete each sentence: 1. The brain (pays attention to; ignores) a learning environment that always remains the same. 2. The brain (notices; does not notice) anything different from what a person is used to.
  • 35. 1. The brain (pays attention to;ignores) a learning environment that always remains the same. 2. The brain (notices; does not notice) anything different from what a person is used to.
  • 38. Change: learning groups, learning activities, instructional methods, media, props, materials, environmental elements, stories, metaphors, analogies, and content-delivery timing (make it shorter).
  • 39. 2. Let learners create.
  • 40. Let learners create: wall charts, posters, presentations, skits, teach-backs, quizzes, 3-dimensional metaphors, table group demonstrations, review activities, worksheets, and artistic representations of content.
  • 41. learner-created wall chart
  • 45. Click back to slides #38 and #40 and choose one idea from each list to use in your next class or training. Write the ideas down so you will remember them.
  • 48. Different trumps same. Make the learning experience different from what learners are traditionally used to.
  • 49. Use novelty, contrast, meaning, and emotion to get and keep the brain’s attention.
  • 50. Reread your notes. Write down what you plan to do with what you learned from this slide presentation.
  • 51. How were the elements of novelty, contrast, meaning, and emotion in this slide presentation used to get YOUR brain to pay attention?
