Brain-based learning principles related to three conditions for complex learning:

Relaxed Alertness:• Principle 2: The brain/mind is social.• Principle 3: The search for meaning is innate.• Principle 5: Emotions are critical to patterning.• Principle 11: Complex learning is enhanced by challenge and inhibited by threat.Orchestrated Immersion:• Principle 1: All learning engages the physiology.• Principle 4: The search for meaning occurs through patterning.• Principle 6: The brain/mind processes parts and wholes simultaneously.• Principle 10: Learning is developmental.Active Processing:• Principle 7: Learning involves both focused attention and peripheral perception.• Principle 8: Learning is both conscious and unconscious.• Principle 9: We have two ways of organizing memory (one stores isolated facts, skills, and procedures and the other engages multiple systems to make sense of experience).• Principle 12: Each brain is uniquely organized.
