Document Summary
Factors that facilitate learning: timing, semantic learning - repetition helps people to learn better by repeated exposure, time intervals. If you learn in different places, it may be more readily recalled later: awareness and attention. If one stimulus is significantly different from others, it will immediately grab our attention (i. e. where"s waldo?) Social networking and multitasking: social media is distracting by preventing the focused attention required in learning. Sleep: sleep deprivation impairs our ability to pay attention and learn, sleep deprivation also prevents learned information from moving into long-term permanent memory storage. Specific learning disorder: a disorder that interferes with acquisition and use of one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in the development of academic skills, oral language, reading, writing, and math. Learning examples: promoting arousal, promoting romantic behaviours, these are different behaviours, the first is best handled through association, the second through operant conditioning.
