Listen "Learning Defies Intuition with Amplifire"
Episode Synopsis
For as long as many of us can remember, you take a test at the end of a lesson or class to validate and solidify the learning. However, what if science revealed that we should actually move it to the front?
The brain is a fascinating and complicated organ that is involved in every one of our functions, including learning. Unfortunately, the complexity can make it difficult for us to truly understand why things work the way they do, especially since what seems intuitive isn’t necessarily accurate.
In this episode, Charles Smith shares the latest in cognitive science and highlights a number of counterintuitive lessons about the way people learn. We also take a closer look at how Amplifire is taking those science lessons and applying them to their adaptive learning platform that not only delivers a unique learner experience but provides data and analytics that gives us unprecedented information about our employees.
