Viewing Workshop: The Dynamic Brain 1 Unit 9 Learning There is a saying in English: “You can never teach an old dog new tricks.” Do you think we can only learn certain topics at certain times? Why? Warming-up Pre-watching Match the pictures with corresponding words. organscaffoldingjuggle Pre-watching Match the pictures with corresponding words. curriculum auditory circuit synapse While-watching Watch the video and answer the questions. 1. Why did we visit Dr. Frederic Dick of Birkbeck College London? 2. Can we only learn certain topics at certain times? Why? 1) Because he is a leading expert in the development of childrens brains. 2) To find out more about the field. We can continue to learn even after the development years due to brain plasticity. 3. Find out what the video is mainly about. Choose the answer from a, b, c. a. The latest research finding on brain research. b. Why people can learn from birth until death. c. How different stages of brain development affect our learning ability. While-watching Watch the first part of the video and finish the tasks. 1. Explain the two sensitive stages. 2. What abilities or actions are best learnt or done in the two sensitive stages? While-watching Experience Expectant LearningExperience Dependent Development It is the kind of learning that an animal or a human does quite early on in development. This is a development that is relying upon features in the environment that you can reliably encounter. Developing system relies upon this kind of low-level perceptual input. It is the kind of learning you do every day and that reflects your experiences and actions as an individual. This is really where we start to build the scaffolding of knowledge that allows us to do many complex skills. a practising motor skills b Learning a foreign language c Getting enough visual and light input d Having many kinds of sounds around us e Studying various school subjects While-watching Watch the final part of the video and answer the questions. While-watching 1. What is “brain plasticity”? Why is it important for the function of the brain? Brain plasticity means our brains can continue to change and develop in response to our experiences. It is really perhaps the fundamental organising principle in our brain function. We see plasticity, every level of brain function happening throughout life, up until your dying day. While-watching 2. What is the result of the people taking juggling exercises in just three months in the 2004 research? There was significant expansion in areas of the brains associated with visual processing in the experiment. While-watching Discuss in groups and give a group presentation. 1. What have you learnt from the video? 2. What advice might you give to elderly people and parents of school children? Post-watching Review and reflect on what you have learnt in this unit. Write a summary or draw a mind map to conclude the key things. Assignment 敬请各位老师提出宝贵意见！ GoodbyeGoodbyeGoodbyeGoodbye！ 。
