Optimal Performance During Brain Optimal Performance During Brain Growth SpurtGrowth Spurt
• Optimal performance requires direct support/instruction vs instruction by book or computer.
• Independent student performance is at a lower level (suboptimal)…You don’t get best performance when they do the task independently w/o coaching
• Students can’t transfer from an optimal level in one area to a high performance level in a different area*

No Attention =
almost NO CHANCE of information getting into memory
No memory = No learningNo memory = No learning

Attention Strategies:Physical—manipulate objects, or move the whole body, such as hands-on, role play,
draw, pantomime, build, model, standing a position, MUSIC (non-vocal) Visual Imagery --imagine a picture or object, draw, sketch, build a model, design a
poster, create one power point slide for a group
Semantic –Reflect, summarize, describe, individually write, note-take, explain, tell, NOTE THE DIFFERENCES and then SIMILIARITIES Between____________ ***
Social --have them watch & text answers/info to explain their partner’s actions
Sex Differences Girls are more attracted to activities where EMOTION can be expressed, Boys more attracted to ACTION, MOVEMENT
*** Brain can recognize differences easily; similarities are difficult to tell apart

Strategies To Build Memory
• Personal Elaborations (Schenck & Cruickshank 2015)
• Personal Applications (Schenck & Cruickshank 2015)
• Space practices FAR apart *• Mix up the types of practice (Brown, Roediger, McDaniel, 2014)
• NO cramming [Binge & Purge Learning] (Roediger & McDaniel 2014)
• Sleep on it• Practice the TEST w/tests (uses RETRIEVAL CUES )
(Roediger & Karpicke 2006)
• In Math, do only 3-4 problems of same type • Learning Styles have NO EFFECT (Pashler, McDaniel, Rohrer & Bjork,
2008)• * Start with the Assessment Goals & Design Practices to them

Practice on Same Type of Problem
• More than 4 creates Cramming Effect & illusion mastery because problems are familiar.
• AVOID cramming by spreading practices out over weeks.

ReReading• Does not increase depth of knowledge• Does not create new-linkages in brain
• ELABORATINGELABORATING does help…Explain WHY • The student must explain the connections

Practicing Transfer
• Practice Conditions (A. Baddeley)
• Level of difficulty (K. Fischer; Craik & Lockhart)
• Number of Skills Practiced vs. Skills Assessed (Theo Dawson, DTS)

Mind Map that can be Manipulated1. Objects have unique shape2. Objects have color3. Can be in sequence or non-
sequential4. Student moves & explains5. Provides immediate feedback6. Creates multiple forms of
memory7. Faster than writing or lecturing8. Practice to mastery or past
perfection (abt.3-5 times)

Getting PersonalMetacognitive Strategies
• Personal Involvement • Personal Elaboration• Physical Movement Elevate Respiratory and Heart Rates
• Prompt feedback (within 1day-- not longer than about 2 days, No help after a week ---Dweck)
• Meaningful personal consequences that are nearly immediate --They see their approach doesn’t work—as in a video game.

Poor Test Prep
![Page 129: Implications of Brain Research and the Classroom By Dr. Jeb Schenck Knowa Inc. Knowa2@gmail.com Syngnosistraining.com 307 864 3982](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032200/56649ccd5503460f94998896/html5/thumbnails/129.jpg)
Causes of Poor Performance• Forgotten RETRIEVAL CUES, not the information
(It is still there)• Mistakes Familiarity with Mastery ( “But I did a lot of the
problems”)
• Used Massed Practice (in either academics or Sports tested extensively at college & pro levels– Spread out the practice tasks,
avoid “massing”)• Practices too close together• Unskilled and Unaware of It• Too Much Screen Time
