And for software tutorials one of the worst solutions for anything longer than a very quick task is videos. Because video dominates our personal lives, it’s no surprise that software tutorial videos are also immensely popular. Video tutorials might not be the best option when it comes to learning company software efficiently.

Visuals and auditory stimulation activates the brain to focus and process these information signals and make sense out of them. When we sleep, the dendrites (brain cells) grow and branch and connect to older dendrites, enhancing information connectivity. Sleep deprivation is nothing uncommon anymore. The culprit?

Infographics allow us to display information and data in an eye-catching way that is bound to stick in the learner’s brain. If you enjoy the experience of learning and incorporate more parts of your brain to do so, you’re more likely to remember the material. Here’s just a few of the benefits. Authenticity.

It all started when people realized that philosophers, linguists, neuroscientists, and psychologists all had valuable knowledge of the human brain but were just not sharing it with each other. The old model of the brain was that we’re these logical, reasoning beings. And it turns out, that’s just so wrong.

when we hear the bullet-point information only the language processing part of the brain gets activated but when a story is told to us, we start experiencing the events of the story leading to immersion in the content. In fact, a story puts the whole brain to work. Evolution has wired our brain to think in the form of narratives.
