Education and Psychology

Abstract

This article is an attempt to discuss the brain based learning and neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is also called brain plasticity or brain malleability. The brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. Neuroplasticity allows the neurons in the brain to compensate for injury and disease and to adjust their activities in response to new situations or to changes in their environment. Brain-based learning is motivated by the general belief that learning can be accelerated and improved if educators base how and what they teach on the science of learning, rather than on past educational practices, established conventions, or assumptions about the learning process
