Hey, Tipsters, thought you might find the statement made on the
Professional Development discussion list where we talk about faculty
development. I thought it an interesting assertion that to me implies
your discipline is archaic. Wondering how you would respond--nicely.
Sounds brain-baseish to me. Of course, what isn't. Need your help.
Make it a good day.

Subject: Affective aspects of teaching
.......The statement that learning is a psychological process is certainly
not new, but it has never gotten us very far. What's coming to light in
current research in cognition is that learning is really a biological
process. [See J. Changeux, Neuronal Man, G. Edelman, The Remembered
Present, A. Gopnik et al, The Scientist in the Crib, R. Restak, The
Modular Brain, K Klivington, The Science of Mind.] Even the affective
elements Raoul speaks of (and are absolutely and critically important) are
the result of brain states, the limbic system, its connection to the
frontal lobes and the "attention focusing/distraction avoiding" regulation
of the frontal cortex.....
