In this Webinar

The key to forming new memories and storing information is the brain’s practice and experience recognizing and constructing patterns. The best glue to promote the consolidation of new information into short-term memory is activation of prior knowledge. In this interactive webinar you will take a journey through the brain and learn proven neuro-logical strategies for building patterning skills, activating prior knowledge, and more.
