We will pay five hundred New Haven men to help us complete a scientific study of memory and learning. The study is being done at Yale University. “Each person who participates will be paid $4.00 (plus 50¢ carfare) for approximately 1 hour’s time. We need you for only one hour: there are no further obligations. You may choose the time you would like to co...

The process of memorization starts at birth with the development of cells and extends throughout the lifetime through the effects of life experiences and stimulants. Like the rest of the body, the brain is made up of cells. These brain cells are different, more specialized cells. (Sprenger 1). Two major brain cells are the neurons- the nerve cells- and the glial cells which work as the ‘glue’ of the neurons. At birth, the brain contains approximately 100 billion neurons. Although that number remains constant over time, these cells can lose their function if not exercised properly in a process called “neutral pruning”. Learning is defined as “two neurons communicating with each other”. A neuron has learned when it has made a connection with another neuron (Sprenger 2).

When trying to understand how the brain works you have to understand how complex the brain is and how well it adapts to the information that it receives and processes the information. The brain controls everything that you do from breathing to moving your arms and legs to emotions, as well as many other functions of the body. (Pritchard, 2009) The brain being a very complex, and has to be addressed in several different ways. No one person learns the same but information will be retained and stored as part of the learning process. An “example of this idea of variety is that based on the V-A-K description of learning styles by Levine (2003)” (Pritchard, 2009) Levine looked at this in a different light and that you can transform things with learning like changing verbal to visual. By changing these things up there are different approaches to how you retain information. With ...

“All people want to be treated with respect, want to be valued and accepted, loved, and cherished, and made to feel they are making important contributions to society and that their wishes and desires are heard and respected (Berg and Steiner, 2003 as cited in Patel, Corter ad Pelletier, 2008, pp 23)”. Parents often feel this way and want to have a say in how and what their child is being taught. Partnerships between educators and families help parents be able to voice their own wishes and desires while allowing teachers and children to be valued, respected and accepted. This literature review will discuss what has been written in regard to family educator partnerships. Reference will be made to a range of literature on the topic of partnerships in a school and centre setting.
