Description
In order to design and deliver effective learning and development initiatives, it is essential to understand how our brains process and retain information.
Neuroscience for Learning and Development introduces the latest research and concepts, equipping L&D and training professionals with an understanding of the inner workings of the mind. Covering areas such as how to create effective learning environments, promoting motivation and how to make learning 'stickier' through the use of stories, the book offers practical tools and ideas that can be applied in a variety of contexts, from digital learning and in-person training sessions, to coaching conversations, to lectures and presentations.
Neuroscience for Learning and Development also features insights from L&D practitioners who have applied these approaches. Readers will not only find new techniques they can implement straight away, but will also discover research that backs up what they are already doing well, enabling them to put convincing cases to budget holders.
This updated second edition contains new chapters on digital learning and on the importance of sleep, as well as updated wider content and new material on mindfulness, learning through your senses and the neuroscience of habits.

This is a good and interesting book, well written and full of tips, my only disappointment is that I was expecting something to make my process of learning easier instead the book is mostly about making the learning process easier for other people. Of course it helps the trainer also but still... Anyway most of the suggestion involve neuroscience but at a level that it's easy to understand and to apply and so this can be a very good book to start if you are interested in the topic.
Questo é un buon manuale, ben scritto e pieno di suggerimenti, peccato che io mi aspettassi un libro che aiutasse me ad imparare piú facilmente, invece ha a che fare con la modalitá per rendere il processo di apprendimento altrui piú immediato. Naturalmente molti suggerimenti sono utili anche per il trainer, peró...Comunque la maggior parte delle facilitazioni prevede l'utilizzo delle neuroscienze, ma ad un livello pratico e facile da capire, quindi questo puó essere un buon libro se l'argomento vi interessa, ma non lo conoscete ancora abbastanza bene.
THANKS TO NETGALLEY AND KOGAN PAGE LTD. FOR THE PREVIEW! (less)

As someone with a deep interest in the area of neuroscience this is a must-have read for those in the field of learning and development sectors in order to make the content they provide to others as memorable and easy to digest as possible. Complete with the latest cutting-edge research this is a truly fascinating insight into the way we learn and the best ways to retain information. Packed with helpful hints and tips as well as evidence-based approaches that are tried and tested, this is a well written and highly informative book. It's certainly well worth your time if you have an interest in this topic or work in one of the areas that would gain from applying these particular strategies. Many thanks to Kogan Page for an ARC.
