The Brain and information processing

The first site is right on target with his explanation of neurons and how the brain encodes information. Recalling the facts from long term memory is effortless when the facts that are linked to examples and memories are created.

The second site focuses on information processing and tends to agree with Dr. Jeanne Ormrod’s points on self-regulation strategies that, together, can account for the striking changes in thinking that emerge as children develop. Researchers therefore focus less on whether students solve problems correctly and more on how problems are solved.
