Understanding the human brain

June 10, 2019

The brain is there to recognize again and to remember, e.g. “friend or foe” or “pleasant or dangerous” situations. A living being with a brain can survive more easily. The brain has not developed to be used for memorizing or rote learning, e. g: facts, numbers of years. That means that we do not learn because of the way our brain is built up. What we learn at school about learning contradicts in many ways the purpose of the brain. There we try to learn despite the way our brain is structured. School expects absolute knowledge.
