Whole-brain learning strategies

No matter which hemisphere of your brain is dominant, keeping both hemispheres actively involved in the learning process will help you make the most of your brain. Here are some tips on creating a whole brain learning environment for yourself:

  • Learn in a relaxed environment. The best recall occurs when brain wave patterns show a relaxed state.
  • Learn in a multi-sensory environment by involving visual, auditory, and kinesthetic activities.
  • Use color! This stimulates the right brain and helps recall.
  • Make sure you take breaks every hour.
  • Try to relate what you are learning to a bigger picture.
  • Reinforce what you have learned through practice and review.
