Document Summary
Nummela: how to think about the brain: the brain is a complex adaptive system: body, mind and brain are dynamic unity, the brain is a social brain, the search for meaning is innate, the search for meaning occurs through patterning, emotions are critical to patterning, the brain/mind processes parts and wholes simultaneously, learning involves both focused attention and peripheral perception, learning always involves conscious and unconscious processes, we have at least two ways of organizing memory a spatial memory and a set of systems for rote learning, learning is developmental, complex learning is enhanced by challenge and inhibited by treat, each brain is uniquely organized.
