Sometimes what people label as neuroscience or “brain science” is really cognitive science. The Learning Development Accelerator (LDA) is a newer group, but focused on evidence-informed practices in L&D.

I was thinking a bit about distributed cognition, and recognized that there as a potentially important way to tease that apart. Or, really, a way that at least partly, we have cognition external. The alternative to performance support, a sort of cognitive scaffolding , is to think about representation.

What Are Cognitive Biases? Our brains receive non-stop input from all five senses every moment we are awake. In the face of this enormous amount of daily input, our brains develop subconscious coping mechanisms that we can use to quickly make daily decisions. Cognitive biases result when these coping mechanisms fail.

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.
