The Neuropsychology of Deeper Memory

Webinar Overview

Dr. George McCloskey will discuss the critical shifting of motivation away from areas of the brain that focus on immediate gratification to areas of the pre-frontal cortex involved in the development of self-determination (and improve delayed gratification). The major focus of the webinar will be on strategies that strengthen students' capacities for self-regulation, self-realization, and self-determination so that they are better prepared to access and benefit from classroom instruction that leads to increased learning and deeper memory.
