In today’s episode, Amanda and Vickie join Lenore Waring from the McNichols Learning Center in Newport Beach on this fascinating journey into how multi-sensory learning helps the creative mind.

Listen in to learn more about how images and feelings play into the way we learn, the importance of learning over memorizing, and the negative effects of too much digital exposure early on!

Show Highlights:

• The McNichols Learning Center offers many educational services and diagnostics and is multi-sensory in its approach.
• The linear, logical brain thinks in long sentences, but the creative mind thinks in keywords, images, and feelings.
• Memorizing and learning are not the same things.
• Memorization, however, if done correctly, can still build neural pathways in the brain.
• Deep reading is needed for critical thinking.
• Lenore discusses the concerns over digital novelty.
• Lenore, Amanda, and Vickie deliberate over cell phones and separation anxiety.
• The literate brain, how it develops, and how it differs from the digital brain.
