On the Podcast this week…
Marcus delves into the concept of "processing". Imagine the Apple rainbow pinwheel or the Windows egg-timer of old as your device takes time to "think". To process. This is human learning. Our brain's require levels of processing in order to more deeply encode information into our long-term memory...
Drawing on the seminal works of Craick and Lockhart, Marcus considers these levels of processing.

This week’s insight: I’ve been thinking about…
The reason why time to process is so important. If learning is simply a change in memory, then the ways in which instructors build opportunity for that learning to be challenged is essential. And when it is challenged, it should be challengING. Desirable levels of difficulty force the memory traces to be more adaptive and easier to call upon. What’s more, by regularly retrieving prior memory traces/learning, then pupils and athletes can ascribe new and deeper meaning based on more recent experiences.
