Google Education channel record a guest speaker doing very interesting brain wave study.
Okay, go away and watch the video and reply here in an hour.
What applications can you see for this?
I think it will be a great way to test the advantages of different language teaching methadologies, so if you read the word "dog" if you instantly see a dog in your mind, or you translate it into say, Czech "pes" and then after you have "pes" you see the picture in your mind... Is that how the brain works? It all happens so fast.
And is there some visable difference in the brain activity of people who think in pictures vs. people who think in words. Especially relating to the different types of flashcards .
I was intentionally misleading (although accurate) with the title of this thread... and you fell for it!
