Making Learning Sticky – A Science-based Approach (260120WEB)

The brain is designed to forget! So how can L&D Practitioners make learning sticky?

To cope with the enormous volume of data bombarding the brain every day, it is designed to ignore anything not ‘tagged’ as important. The good news is that this natural process of forgetting helps avoid information overload, but the bad news is that it negatively impacts learning and recall.

For L&D Practitioners, a critical capability when designing and delivering learning experiences is knowing how to offset this process and ensure participants’ brains recognise what’s important.

Join Loretta Mitchell from Neu Perspectives as she shares the latest neuroscience that sheds light on the specific conditions and deliberate actions required to tap into the brain’s memory processes to build long-term recall.

In this webinar, you will build knowledge of:

• How the brain forms memories
• 8 key techniques to tag new information as important
•  Essential differences in building knowledge recall vs behaviour change 

Key Takeaways:

•  Identify the four stages to embed new information into memory
•  The ‘Sticky8’ – 8 key techniques to make learning sticky 
•  Transfer plan for strengthening memory through retrieval activities

Loretta Mitchell

As Director of Neu Perspectives, Loretta is a big believer in the powerful role organisational neuroscience plays in driving effective learning, leadership, performance, and engagement. Loretta shares the latest science to help explain the ‘why’, not just the ‘what and how’. This approach supports leaders, learning professionals, and employees in creating a foundation for approaching workplace interactions, processes and challenges with greater confidence and effectiveness.

Loretta’s own ‘why’ is to help create positive workplaces where the organisation and its team members can thrive. She leverages her L&D expertise in extensive program design and delivery, along with L&D strategy and team management, having held roles at the national and international level in L&D and People & Culture across Asia Pacific, the UK and US.
