Five insights from the cognitive sciences every L&D professional should understand

Discover the fascinating mechanics of how minds truly process information in this interactive, science-based seminar. Rather than relying on learning myths or current trends, experience firsthand the actual cognitive principles that determine what information gets stored, processed, and remembered.

Through engaging experiments that make abstract cognitive science concrete, you’ll encounter surprising revelations about how our minds handle information—including the bottlenecks that prevent learning and the pathways that facilitate it. Each demonstration serves as both a compelling illustration and a practical lesson you can immediately apply.

These aren’t just theoretical concepts—they’re fundamental mechanics that affect every learning experience you design. By understanding these principles, you’ll see why certain approaches consistently fail while others succeed, regardless of content or audience.

Perfect for L&D professionals who appreciate evidence-based approaches, this seminar bridges cognitive science and practical application. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of the mind’s information processing systems and specific insights for designing learning that aligns with our cognitive architecture rather than fighting against it.
