a 2 hour Youtube by Frank Longo, MD, PhD, professor of neurology at Stanford U. March 9, 2010 A very good lecturer. A up-to-date model of how we learn - short-term and long-term memory and (a new one on me) executive function
not all that helpful. The 2 page summary simply restates what this web page says - no specifics about research - will follow up the individual researcher links?
"art of Green College's 'Human Evolution, Cognition and Culture Series,' from an evolutionary perspective, what we call "mind" and "body" are not two separate realities, but rather are dimensions of complex processes of ongoing interaction between an organism and its environment. Recent research coming out of the cognitive sciences is beginning to show us how our ability to experience and create meaning depends on the nature of our sensory-motor contact with our world and our emotional bonds to it. Our capacity for thinking is embodied, too, and it appropriates patterns of our sensory-motor experience for both concrete and abstract conceptualization and reasoning. Language and all other forms of symbolic expression and communication are thus tied to these bodily sources of meaning and thought.

"A new study, forthcoming in Psychological Science, and led by Jason Moser at Michigan State University, expands on this important concept. The question at the heart of the paper is simple: Why are some people so much more effective at learning from their mistakes?"
