Parietal lobe function

information is sent to the hippocampus from each lobe and then sent back/reorganized why sleeping (during REM)
R.E.M and its importance

Practice makes ________
permanent
4 modalities

One of Piaget’s stages and what it is
concrete operational (7-11)
Logic, concrete understanding, brain rearranges to better understand the word, thoughts and feelings are unique to self
Assimilation
when new information comes into the brain, I’m going to make it fit with something I already know

what we know when new learning is taking place
Accommodation
