Denna lista är tagen från en studie som undersökt i vilken mån lärare på grundskolor i England är insatta om hjärnan. Samtliga lärare som utfrågades hade uttryckt ett intresse för neurovetenskapen kring lärandeprocessen och syftet med studien var att se i vilken grad dessa lärare trodde på myter snarare än fakta.

Se om du själv klarar av att hitta alla de korrekta svaren, studien i sin helhet är länkad i botten av artikeln om du vill läsa motiveringarna till påståendena (vad de anser vara ”rätt” är definitivt diskuterbart i vissa fall)

Children must acquire their native language before a second language is learned. If they do not do so neither language will be fully acquired
Boys have bigger brains than girls
If pupils do not drink sufficient amounts of water (=6–8 glasses a day) their brains shrink
It has been scientifically proven that fatty acid supplements (omega-3 and omega-6) have a positive effect on academic achievement
When a brain region is damaged other parts of the brain can take up its function
We only use 10% of our brain
The left and right hemisphere of the brain always work together
Differences in hemispheric dominance (left brain, right brain) can help explain individual differences amongst learners
The brains of boys and girls develop at the same rate
Brain development has finished by the time children reach secondary school
There are critical periods in childhood after which certain things can no longer be learned
Information is stored in the brain in a network of cells distributed throughout the brain.
Learning is not due to the addition of new cells to the brain
Individuals learn better when they receive information in their preferred learning style (e.g.,auditory, visual, kinesthetic)
Learning occurs through modification of the brains’ neural connections
