when cold hits the receptors in the outer
covering of the brain, called the
meninges. The cold creates a dilation
and contraction of arteries, causing a

the front. Therefore, your frontal lobes,
which control planning and reasoning,
are the last to strengthen and structure
connections.
Learning happens best through teaching
others.
Teaching others something you have
learned is one of the most effective
study methods. In fact there is a highly
effective study technique designed on
this principle, called the Feynman
Technique.

construct or make their own
knowledge
TWO VIEWS OF CONSTRUCTIVISM

INDIVIDUAL CONSTRUCTIVISM SOCIAL CONSTRUCTIVISM

individual knowledge exists in social

TRANSFER OF LEARNING
applying to another situation what was
previously learned
 POSITIVE TRANSFER
occurs when learning from one context
improves performance in some other
context

NEGATIVE TRANSFER
occurs when learning from one context
impacts negatively on performance in some
other context.
