Question:

Do you think Culture helps cognition and memory ?

What do you think?

Their Thoughts

• The Tel Aviv University Study shows that culture actives suggest the use of language, can influence the way students learn in class.
• Affects their ability to collect different kinds of data to be able to make connects between them.
• Also affects the behavior of the students in the classroom.

What do they think?

"We believe that, over lengthy time scales, some aspects of the brain must have changed to better accommodate the learning parameters required by various cultural activities," said Prof. Arnon Lotem, of TAU's Department of Zoology.

• Prof Aron lead this study

Study

• The Evolution captured through small modifications of evolve learning also data acquisitions models. (American Friends of Tel Aivi University, 2017).

Main Professors in the Study:

Prof Lotem

Prof Joseph

Participants

Study Influence

• Prof Lotem developed the new learning model with Prof Joseph.
• The Study Included Animal and humans to see who develops cognition's.
• They use humans and animals in different activities to see who develop cultural congitions.

Activites used:

• They had them listen to a string of syllables, and have the see if they can define the words.
• Identify two different types of tress in a forest.

Activities

• Writing and Putting on a play in the classroom
• Creating cultural exhibits with artwork

These are just a few examples of cultural activities to develop cognition in the classroom.

What Activities can be used for a Cultural Classroom?

"Around the world people communicate with one another using a dazzling array of language which requires very different things from its speakers." (Borodisky, 2011).

• Ted Talk by Borodisky explained that culture shapes languages. For examples: Russians have different names for the color blue. In English there are different blues, that refer to shades of blue as regular blue.

• Diversity plays a big part in culture.
• Languages have a big effect on the way the brain works.
• Perceptions if the world and language speaker can have many tests.

Other Research

• According to Borodisky the language is what we speak, and this is the main perception of the world.
• Culture is what defines all of us as humans

• Language and Cognition is a hard principle, there are 7,000 languages that are spoken around the world.
