PLANNING FOR INSTRUCTION
A Potential Learning Event….
The brain checks the sensory data in
the environment against prior
knowledge or experience to determine
its degree of importance.
(Subconscious processing)
Time for survival…. Milliseconds
(That’s 1/1,000 of a second!)
Immediate Memory….
This is a place where we put

captures our focus and demands
our attention.
Can handle only

Adolescents can process items intently up to 10-20
minutes before becoming fatigued. Adults, up to 45.
