Effective Learning
  • Low stress, high challenge.
  • Age 2 minutes.
  • BEM principle
  • People learn in different ways
  • Learning is greatly enhanced when the whole brain
    is engaged
  • People remember context much better than they
    remember content
  • Recall is dramatically improved when information
    is reviewed.
