Week 2 - Assignment
15. How the Brain LearnsIn Chapters 3 and 4 of your primary text,
Farrar and Montgomery discuss executive functioning and
memory development (2015), and the factors that influence
brain development. For this assignment, you will build upon
that knowledge by further investigating how the brain learns.
Remember that working memory, attention, and executive
functions are interconnected and are crucial to the learning
process. This includes the ability for a child to pay attention,
demonstrate inhibitory control, and goal-directed behavior.
Children may possess varying degrees of each of these
functions, but they work together to create cognitive control and
flexibility. For this assignment, you will assume the role of a
professional development coordinator for your state’s early
childhood programs and develop a flyer titled “How the
Brain Learns†that informs families about the role of working
memory, attention, and executive function in learning and
development. You may develop your flyer using Microsoft
Word or Microsoft Publisher. Before completing this
assignment, review the Week Two Instructor Guidance for
additional information, resources, and support. Additionally,
review the Grading Rubric for this assignment to understand
how you will be evaluated and contact your instructor using the
“Ask Your Instructor†discussion before the due date with
questions.In your “How the Brain Learns†flyer, include
separate sections that address each of the following:
Key Words (1 point):
Define working memory, attention, and executive functions.
Relationship Among Executive Functions (1 point):
Using examples, discuss the relationship among the three core
executive functions (i.e., working memory, inhibitory control,
and set-shifting).
Development of Executive Functions (2 points):
Using examples, discuss how the three core executive functions
develop from infancy through age 8.
16. Executive Functions and Role (2 points):
Examine the role the three core executive functions play in
learning and development. For each of the functions, provide a
specific example to support your examination.
Neural Regions and Executive Functions (2 points):
Explain at least two ways the prefrontal and ventral striatum
neural regions are associated with executive functions in
emotional situations.
Delayed Gratification (1 point):
Using examples, discuss at least two different factors that
influence young children’s willingness to delay
gratification.
Environmental Influences (1point):
Using examples, explain at least three environmental influences
that impact executive functioning and memory.
Training of Executive Functions (1 point):
Discuss at least two specific ways to help executive functions in
children in the classroom.
Flyer Design (1 point):
Incorporates at least three images or graphics that are related to
the content of the flyer.
Flyer Length (.5 points):
Your flyer must be at least 2 pages in length.
Title Page (.25 points):
Inclusion of a separate title page with the following:Title of
presentationStudent’s nameCourse name and
numberInstructor’s nameDate submitted
Source Requirement (0.5 Points):
Reference two scholarly sources in addition to the text. All
sources included in the References list must be cited in the
content of the flyer.
APA Formatting (0.25 Points):
Use APA formatting consistently throughout the assignment,
which includes citations in the body of the assignment, the title
page, and references list.
Syntax and Mechanics (0.25 Points):
