Executive Function & Hippocampus
Internet User and Google
Hippocampus is
like Google. It
retrieves
information
stored (posted)
in any portion of
the brain.
Executive function is the conscious
search for and connection of
memories. ..Like a person searching
Google for the answer to a question.
During this process the teacher engages with the student to encourage them to “travel”
between executive function (conscious thought and effort) and the hippocampus which is the
hub of memory recall. The student then assembles the memories and attaches new instruction
to previous memory and understanding.
While this instruction is
occurring, the amygdala,
RAS, and the limbic system
are either facilitating the
effort with positive
reinforcement in the form
of neurotransmitors such
as dopamine and
…or this system becomes over stimulated and evokes unconscious
norepinepherine…
emotional responses that greatly inhibit all of the previous cognitive
functions such as word recognition, meaning, pronunciation, memory
recall, and executive function.

I think principles based instruction is important. Some
teachers may find it takes a lot more creativity and time
