In this episode, we discuss current research on how the brain works and its effects on learning. Bryan Austin, VP of Learning Innovation at mLevel, joins us to share fascinating research on Neuroscience and Learning Effectiveness. We talked about the A.G.E.S. model, a result of a decade of neuroscience research, which represents the critical components of brain science that drive great learning ability and talent development.
A.G.E.S. refers to:
- Attention
- Generation
- Emotions
- Spacing
During our podcast, we examine each element of the A.G.E.S. model to help you decipher or decode what triggers people to learn quicker, and absorb meaningful information that can contribute to greater performance.
We address the following:
- The relationship between the A.G.E.S. model and employee performance
- Techniques that are helpful with Attention (Focus)
- Habits you can create to help with Generation to improve your learning ability – active learning where the learner creates meaning by doing
- The importance of emotions, human connections, and social interactions that enable the student to recall better
- Determine the best time and spacing between learning for greater effectiveness
Bryan has been a leader in the corporate learning industry for over 25 years. He was a member of the leadership teams for Skillsoft, NETg, Kaplan Financial, and Achieve-Global, among others.
