How the Brain Learns
Farrar and Montgomery discuss executive functioning and memory development (2015), you learned about factors that influence brain development. For this assignment, you will build upon that knowledge by further investigating how the brain learns. Remember that working memory, attention, and executive functions are interconnected and are crucial to the learning process. This includes the ability for a child to pay attention, demonstrate inhibitory control, and goal-directed behavior. Children may possess varying degrees of each of these functions, but they work together to create cognitive control and flexibility. For this assignment, you will assume the role of a professional development coordinator for your state's early childhood programs and develop a flyer titled "How the Brain Learns" that informs families about the role of working memory, attention, and executive function in learning and development. You may develop your flyer using Microsoft Word or Microsoft Publisher. Before completing this assignment, review the Week Two Instructor Guidance for additional information, resources, and support. Additionally, review the Grading Rubric for this assignment to understand how you will be evaluated and contact your instructor using the "Ask Your Instructor" discussion before the due date with questions.
In the "How the Brain Learns" flyer, include separate sections that address each of the following:
Key Word: Define working memory, attention, and executive functions.
