The Science Behind Learning

Ever wondered what’s really happening inside the brain when people learn? In this fascinating Lunch n Learn, learning scientist Lauren Waldman will share key insights into the sensory perception of learning—how our brains receive, process, and retain information.

We’ll then translate these insights into practice, exploring together what they mean for learning designers who want to create experiences that truly stick. Expect a mix of scientific insight and practical discussion that will challenge assumptions and spark new ideas for your own designs.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

🧠Explain key neuroscience principles related to how the brain perceives and processes information during learning.
🧠Reflect on how these principles affect the way people engage with and retain learning content.
🧠Identify practical ways to apply neuroscience insights to the design of more engaging and effective learning experiences.
