Dear Provost Silvia Castro,
I would like to thank largely to your advice provided during the welcome week, everyone who joined this presentation were pleased to hear your opinion and knowledge related to “The Brain that Learns”. I am Priscilla Sanchez and I am taking an Accounting Degree at this moment, I graduated of Business Administration two years ago at UCR. During this activity, you created an engagement with the audience, doing a lot of question about the topic and then explaining each question as clear as possible, you went through different points, the principals that I remember are: read, write, cooperate and experiments.
During this activity an interesting topic named Neuroscience was explained, how is it defined? “Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system”[1]. First at all, I want to mention the correlation between the neuroscience and reading, recently brain research has focused efforts to understand how our brain works and how it is related to each human skills and something is clear, not all children’s brain are wired for reading in the same way. In fact, reading ability has a connection with the neural pathway, for this reason, everybody should try to read in order to activate different part of the brain and increase awareness.
A second point is related to writing skill and how is it analyze by neuroscience’s theories. It is so important to know that just taking notes could be a great way to improve our memory and learn a lot of things or different types of information, in other words, acquiring new knowledge, behaviors, skills, values and so on.
There are two additional points which were mentioned, these are: cooperate and experiments, through practice the brain will be exercise and cooperate or share spare time with others is part of our social system, it is known as social cognition and it has a close relation with the Cognitive Neuroscience
Thank you for taking the time to speak to us about this exciting topic during ULACIT welcome week.
Sincerely,
Priscilla Sanchez
