    Suppose I find out that the left angular gyrus becomes more active as children learn to read. What is a teacher supposed to do with that information?

    This is a wonderful lecture from Karen Froud, Director of the Neurocognition of Language Lab, and Associate Professor of Speech-Language Pathology and Neuroscience and Education at Teachers College, at the cutting edge of neuroeducation.

  • label children with V, A and K shirts
  • What is possibly more insidious is that focusing on one sensory modality flies in the face of the brain's natural interconnectivity. VAK
  • input modalities in the brain are interlinked: visual with auditory; visual with motor; motor with auditory; visual with taste; and so on.
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • the brain sees with its ears and touch, and hears with its eyes.
  • as primates, we are predominantly processors of visual information.
  • Eating does not engage just taste, but smell, tactile (inside the mouth), auditory and visual sensations
  • Learning a language, and the practice of it, requires the coordinated use of visual, auditory and kinaesthetic modalities, in addition to memory, emotion, will, thinking and imagination
  • There is indeed such a neural concourse, in the parieto-temporo-occipital ‘association’ cortex in each cerebral hemisphere
  • Fortunately, many teachers have not been taken in. Ironically, VAK has become, in the hands of practitioners, a recipe for a mixed-modality pedagogy where lessons have explicit presentations of material in V, A and K modes. Teachers quickly observed that their pupils' so-called learning styles were not stable, that the expressions of V-, A- and K-ness varied with the demands of the lessons, as they should
  • extrapolations from the lab to the classroom need to be made with considerable caution
  • The coloured blobs on brain maps representing areas of significant activation (so-called ‘lighting up’) are like the peaks of sub-oceanic mountains which rise above sea level
  • considerable complexity.
  • (fMRI),
  • the images are the end-result of many years' work on understanding the quantum mechanics of nuclear magnetic resonance phenomena, the development of the engineering of superconducting magnets, the application of inverse fast Fourier transforms to large data sets and the refinement of high-speed computing hardware and software to analyse large data sets across multiple parameters.
  • these neural contributions to intelligence are necessary for all school subjects, and all other aspects of cognition
  • no individual modules in the brain which correspond directly to the school curriculum
  • Neuromyths typically ignore such interconnectivity in their pursuit of simplicity

    A perfect example of the kind of unmitigated rubbish spouted by 'brain-friendly' educators, who fail to acknowledge the sheer complexity of the brain, and the need for multiple modules of the brain to be employed in a simple task such as discerning differences in a picture.
