Learning and the Brain
Project Brainstorm
You arrive at work and can’t remember a thing about the 30 minute drive you just took
You just finished your shower and realize you have no idea if you washed your hair or not
In a group of friends someone brings up a TV character and every member of the group can picture the face but can’t remember the name --- “collective brain disease”
You forget how to spell “thought” as you’re writing a note --- “it just doesn’t look right!”
You have a hard time remembering someone’s name . . . and you gave birth to them
