Utica, NY (10/20/2009) - On Oct. 21, Utica College will present Mary Cardinale, Ph.D., an adjunct lecturer of English at the College, to present her findings on how children think and respond to new learning programs.The lecture, titled “Empowering Learners: Teaching Students to Switch on Their Brains,” features a new five-step program that helps students learn. The program itself is based on the findings of the most recent neuro-metacognitive research to date. Those who attend will learn how a person can improve their brain function, simply by taking advantage of what the brain does to build memory.
Other topics discussed during the presentation are the latest research being done on how learners create and store memory, how a person’s memory can affect their attitude, and how a change in attitude can change the learning outcome of a person.
As part of the ACSS Conversation series at Utica College, the event is free and open to faculty, students, and the public. “Empowering Learners: Teaching Students to Switch on Their Brains” will be presented in the Hubbard Hall, Room 210, October 21, at 3:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served prior to the conversation.
