Dr. John Medina is a renowned neuroscientist who has identified 12 simple rules to improve your brain function at work, school and home. Regular application of these ideas will help you achieve your highest levels of cognitive function.
Teachers would be well advised to incorporate these ideas into their design of lessons and overall curriculum plans.
Parents should be aware of these rules in order to help their children develop behaviors patterns and habits to set them up for success in school and beyond.
Coaches should be aware of these ideas in order to establish training practices on the athletic field that give their players the best chance to learn and master new skills.
In short, these rules are for everyone, only for people with a brain battery interested in getting the most out of it.
Rule 1: Exercise -: Exercise will boost your brain power because of the increased flow of blood and oxygen to the brain.
Rule 2: Survival: The human brain develop during the era of evolutionary adaptation, with an innate bias for survival which hard wires us for certain kinds of behaviors that are beyond our conscious control, like fight or flight syndrome.
Rule 3: Wiring - Every brain is wired differently. Beware of oversimplifying and objective flying your workers, students, children or players.
Rule 4: Attention. We are attracted by nature to that which is different, exciting or stands out from the crowd..
Rule 5: Short-Term Memory works on repetition, so if you want to remember something, repeat it, repeat it and repeat it.
Rule 6: Long-Term Memory allows us to store behaviors that we can recall. So your memory allows you to repeat past performance.
Rule 7: Sleep -if you want to think well, then you should sleep well. A significant portion of our life is spent sleep, and you should create a good environment for deep sleep with comfortable mattress, muted lights and decrease noise.
Rule 8: Stress alters the behavior of the brain when it comes to learning. You learn differently when under stress and so the same rules for learning preferences and learning styles do not apply.
Rule 9: Sensory Integration: the more senses it you can stimulate and incorporate into the learning, the more likely learning will be.
Rule 10: Vision is our strongest sense, and will dominate the others when it comes to learning and stimulation.
Rule 11: Gender: despite feminist doctrine to the contrary, male and female brains have detectable and measurable differences with respect to learning, and stimulation levels. This is not to say that we can categorize and stereotype, but in large groups the differences are predictable.
Rule 12: Exploration: we have an innate desire to explore new worlds and seek out new information. Curiosity may have killed the cat but it motivates us to seek out the new area
