Neuromyths Busted: Essential Neuroscience for Preceptors
Week 6: Neuromyth Review summarizes common misunderstandings about how the brain learns and highlights evidence-based principles that matter for precepting. Key points include the roles of sleep, neuroplasticity, and distributed memory networks, and why the 10% brain and left/right brain myths are misleading.The episode explains how memory is built and lost, why rehearsal, spaced retrieval, and reflection (metacognition) improve learning, and why repeated check-ins and low-stakes testing help orientees retain skills.Practical takeaways stress that forgetting is normal, practice plus reflection builds expertise, and Universal Design for Learning is a better teaching approach than catering to learning styles.
