Image via Wikipedia"Brain Rules" is a book by molecular biologist Dr. John Medina, who is also a blogger. He gave an interview to Harvard Business review on "The Science of Thinking Smarter".Dr. Medina uses his expertise and experience he has acquired over the years from his research work in molecular biology dealing with brain's functioning to formulate 12 cardinal rules to succeed in work, school and at home . The rules are:
EXERCISE | Rule #1: Exercise boosts brain power.These rules reinforce the existing common sense rules of good living like exercising, sleeping well and reducing the stress. Some of these rules can act as guidelines for developing successful elearning modules like rule#10.
Evolution SURVIVAL | Rule #2: The human brain evolved, too.
WIRING | Rule #3: Every brain is wired differently.
ATTENTION | Rule #4: We don't pay attention to boring things.
SHORT-TERM MEMORY | Rule #5: Repeat to remember.
LONG-TERM MEMORY | Rule #6: Remember to repeat.
SLEEP | Rule #7: Sleep well, think well.
STRESS | Rule #8: Stressed brains don't learn the same way.
