Educational snacking.
What if snacking was finally good for your health?
Memory functions?
INSERM (National Institute of Health and Medical Research) has published a dossier on these types of memories, which are based on different neural networks.
The aim is to understand how memory functions affect our ability to record, delete, or update information.
The 5 types of memories
- Working memory : which is a representation of information stored and used in the short term (at the heart of the neural system).
- Semantic memory : in connection with expressions, signs and, more generally, language or speech.
- Episodic memory : to capture moments that place us in space and time, based on events experienced personally.
- Procedural memory: that allows us to automate daily or regular tasks without having to re-learn.
- Perceptual memory : in connection with our different senses.
Of course, you can find the complete file of the 5 types of dissertations on the INSERM website. We are not inventing anything here, all the credit goes to the INSERM researchers.
Microlearning and memory management
Microlearning is, by definition, a short training action, requiring a few minutes (3 to 5 minutes) to learn, review, anchor or to arouse interest.
In this logic, micro-learning makes it possible to avoid overloading the learner's working memory.
The various generational findings and conflicts are not out of the question, on the contrary: work and leisure times or breaks have changed considerably between generations X and Y-Z.
Productivity times are shorter and much more repeated over time for generations Y-Z.
In the end: snacking is good for your health!
This is one of the principles on which micro-learning is based: the fractional consumption of educational content over time.
All without having to overload our learners' working memory. This keeps them productive, focused, and available.
