Brains switch off when we see a slide full of bullet points. Our brains are active for language processing but nothing else. When we hear stories, our brains light up all over–we experience a story as if we were part of it. Our brains are wired to learn from stories. Support attention. Why do stories work?

We know that movement benefits children physically, but it also stimulates brain regions responsible for attention, memory and executive function — all crucial for learning. Research shows that cognitive fatigue — a state of mental exhaustion after prolonged cognitive effort — impairs learning, attention and task performance.

Visuals are processed 60,000 times faster in the brain than text. If that doesn’t make your jaw drop, then think about the fact that viewers spend twice as much time engaging with video content over text only.

Millennials get bored quickly, because their brains are “twitchy.”. Since the human brain isn’t really capable of multi-tasking, this means that they have learned how to switch rapidly between media and pick up where they left off.
