Motor Learning and Memory

Grade Level: 4 - 12 Age Range: 9 - 18 Lesson Length: 1 class

This lesson was adapted from "Neuroscience Laboratory and Classroom Activities" (downloadable by NABT members) created by the National Association of Biology Teachers and the Society for Neuroscience; and "The Senses, Behavior, and Learning" by Dr. Roger Johnson

2015 Brain Awareness Week video 3rd Place winner Your Sixth Sense explains the concept of proprioception - our sense of ourselves and how we know where our hand is even when we can't see it. It's a fun introduction to sensory processing. Catch the references to Spiderman? See all the winners at www.sfn.org/News-and-Calendar/Neuroscience-Quarterly/Fall-2015/Brain-Awareness-Video-Contest.
