A. Diagnostic Assessment Quiz: “Do you believe in Neuromyths?”

People learn better when they obtain information in accordance with their preferred learning style.

Educators must diagnose their students’ learning styles and take them into account in instruction.

Learners differ in the mode in which they prefer to receive information (e.g. visually or verbally)

If a student feels that they learn best by writing the content down in their own words, this is because they then see what they have written down

That instructional designs in which the learning content is systematically structured facilitate positive learning effects among students.

Students become overwhelmed when instructional topics are not taught one after another in a structured, sequential way.

Students’ knowledge acquisition is more sustainable when the learning process is simplified

Educators should follow the structure of school textbooks and teach topics one after another chronologically in order to avoid students’ misconceptions in their teaching topic.

Quick and easy success during learning improves students’ long-term retention of the learning content.

One brain hemisphere is more strongly involved in certain cognitive processes than the other (hemispheric dominance)

Learners two brain hemispheres have different strengths and weaknesses.

Every learner has a dominant hemisphere that they rely upon more strongly than the other, and student (cognitive) characteristics are rooted in this ‘hemispheric.

Educators should not take into account whether learners are left-brained or right-brained in their instruction, because hemispheric dominance merely means that one of the two hemispheres is more strongly involved in a specific cognitive process than the other.

The first part of the brain (the cerebrum) contains two hemispheres that are not completely identical from an anatomical or functional perspective (hemispheric asymmetry),

The two hemispheres are linked to one another and work together on all processing tasks.

Students’ left hemisphere is responsible for intellectual, rational, verbal and analytical thinking, while the right hemisphere is responsible for creative, intuitive and non-verbal thought processes.

A crossed neural pathway links the left hemisphere of the brain to the right side of the body and vice versa.

Brain Gym’ programs available for sale can prevent learning difficulties, improve students’ learning or creativity, and even raise their intelligence.

Nighttime restructuring (consolidation) processes in the brain and can lead to new insights.

Learning while you sleep is a time-value learning process, while students can learn completely new content while they sleep
