Description
Explaining the science behind creative training delivery so that learners will be motivated, enjoy their training sessions, pay attention, remember what was being said, and ultimately be able to apply what they have learned, Neuroscience for Learning and Development introduces tools, techniques, and ideas to help trainers improve their training. Author Stella Collins provides the latest scientific research behind multiple facets of training and learning, including the design and delivery of face to face, online and virtual learning, and how to create environments conducive to learning, along with how to distinguish between neuromyths and neuroscience.

Advance Praise
'Dispelling some of the myths and hype around the topic, Stella proves you don't have to be a neuroscientist to apply key brain principles to practical learning solutions. Starting with an understandable tour of the brain this accessible book explores how factors such as attention, curiosity, personal meaning, the senses, spacing, pacing, relaxation and reflection are vital aspects of creating effective, engaging learning. If you haven't got time to become a neuroscientist but want to apply its principles to learning, this is book is a great place to start!' Andy Lancaster, Head of Learning and Development, CIPD
'This is no trendy skim through the latest L&D 'fad'; rather it's a well-researched and well-articulated walk through the science and the physiology of the brain, and how a knowledge and understanding of how it works can help both teachers/trainers/facilitators/coaches AND learners absorb information more easily and translate that knowledge into effective action and new behaviours. It's a book I will be keeping close and referring back to regularly.' Niall Gavin, former Head of Technology Assisted Learning, at FirstGroup plc
