The evolution of learning theory: What's next?
- Neuroscience has revealed fascinating new insights into how the brain learns. Each time researchers peer deeper into the mind's workings, they uncover new dimensions of how we process, store, and retrieve information. From advanced brain imaging that shows memory formation in real time to massive studies that can help millions of people acquire new skills, we're in an incredible era of discovery about human learning. These discoveries don't necessarily overturn existing learning theories. They help us refine and extend our understanding of them. But here's the challenge. As an L&D professional, how do you separate legitimate scientific advances from alluring, but unproven, claims? How do you stay current while remaining grounded in validated principles? Let me share a cautionary tale. A few years ago, a colleague told me a story of a client who was excited about implementing what was marketed as Quantum Learning Acceleration, supposedly using quantum physics principles to…
