Dr. John Medina
Dr.
John Medina, director of the Brain Center for Applied Learning Research at
Seattle Pacific University tells us about a few of the 12 principles for surviving
and thriving at work, at home and at school. He tells us why kids
should be limited when playing video games and watching TV and that
cell phones, even with an ear piece, should never be used while operating
a car. He says multi-tasking is a myth.
It's good information from those who
understand much of the mystery of our minds and why we are the way
we are. |
