Emotions in motion: The neuroscience behind emotions in learning
What happens when emotions meet learning? In this engaging talk, we’ll explore the intersection of neuroscience, emotions, and learning. Discover how psychological safety – or the lack of it – shapes brain function and what this means for designing and facilitating learning environments. We will unpack why emotions are essential for memory retention and long-term impact, and how to leverage them effectively.
