"...by 6 to 7 months, babies can remember a sign. At eight months, children can begin to imitate gestures and sign single words. By 24 months, children can sign compound words and full sentences. They say sign language reduces frustration in young children by giving them a means to express themselves before they know how to talk." (Glarion, 2003)

It's also ominous because all these colors that I've used are derived from the petrol-chemical industry. They're only possible because of the fractioning of hydrocarbons. That's how they get the pigments. None of it is natural. It essentially comes from black sludge. We've created this incredibly vibrant society, but we're going to have to deal with the consequences sooner or later.

long term memory-implicit/non verbal
a very robust memory can result when Ss reperatedly explainwhat they are doingcreating neural networks
memory types
for certain memories little effort or studying is required because of emaotional significance

if Ss we able to have lessons of great personal significance but without negative threats

we can create linages between a given lesson and students by facitlitating the search for patterns having Ss physically involved and especially when they have a p[ersonal interest in the outcome

if learning is memory- the retrieval of memory

concepts spread throughtout the entire cortex when the mromry is accesse we only access a portion of the network which is why we never have exactly the same thought twice

multiple assessments using different modalitles are necessary to overcome the limited access to the memory of a concept at a particu;ar time

a single assessment givwes only a poor snapshot of what is in the brain and may miss large portions or what a student knows

Mirror neurons
imitation can make us slow fast smart dumb..good at bad at math…

should reinforce and revisit the concept

leartning os arguabvly about the formation of returnable memories which include theknowledge process, habits , skills, attrivbutes andbiases…perceptions develop through experiences

Actual experimentation, the manipulation and testing of ideas in reality, provides children with direct, concrete feedback about the accuracy of their ideas as they work them out. Both play and exploration are self-structured and self-motivated processes of learning.
