All the implications have been previously documented from learning science research at the cognitive or social level. Neuroscience is cool, but its use in learning design tends to be to draw attention (read: marketing), not for any new outcomes. I feel similarly about the term brain-based.

While he didn’t have the benefit of today’s brain imaging technology, he just may have been right. Human brains interpret waves that fall between 20 to 20,000 Hz as sound. The vibration, usually carried by the air, enters our ear, eventually stimulates the auditory nerve , which sends a signal to the brain.

As it turns out, psychology—particularly cognitive psychology—has a lot of valuable lessons for e-learning. Spaced repetition shifts the focus off the ideas you already know and narrows your attention onto those you don’t. By spreading the space between review sessions, it trains your brain to recall the information better.

Neuroscience has discovered what psychology long suspected – our brain doesn’t really perform multiple cognitive tasks at the same time.
