How Our Brains Learn

À propos de cet épisode

<p>Have you ever fallen asleep in school or during a work meeting? Maybe you felt your eyes glaze over as your boss or a teacher droned on and on about a topic that had no relevance to you. What's missing from these classrooms and conference rooms is engagement: A state of being absorbed, alert, and eager to learn. This week, psychologist and neuroscientist <a href="https://rossier.usc.edu/faculty-research/directory/maryhelen-immordinoyang" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mary Helen Immordino-Yang</a> explores why so many of us feel apathetic at school and at work, and how to cultivate the magic of engagement.</p> <p><i>Do you have follow-up questions or comments after listening to this episode?
