Learning as a Biological Process

Learning induces biological changes in the brain, such as neurogenesis (creation of new neurons) and synaptic plasticity (strengthening of neural connections). These changes correlate with improved cognitive functions and can be enhanced through targeted interventions, including technology-assisted learning and data-driven strategies that promote measurable growth.

Engaging in cognitively challenging tasks using adaptive software that increases neural connectivity, leading to enhanced problem-solving abilities as demonstrated by performance assessments.

Understanding these biological mechanisms sets the stage for exploring specific brain structures, like the cerebellum, and their role in learning when augmented by technology
