Brain Structures

 For this  assignment, you are tasked with completing a paper that  addresses the major structures of the brain and the influence these have  on cognition and learning. By completing this assignment, you will  demonstrate (a) an understanding of the major brain structures, (b)  fluency in the processes that occur within the brain, leading to the  learning of specific behaviors, and (c) the connections of the  relationships required between major brain structures and cognitive  functions to facilitate the learning process. 

· Select 2-3 learning experiences, describing, in detail, how each experience generally occurs. 

· Examples  of learning experiences one might consider are learning to ride a bike,  learning a new language, learning to bake a cake, to name a few. 

· In describing each learning experience, identify at least 4 specific brain structures or functions that contribute to or impede the selected learning processes.

· For each identified function or structure, describe and define the structure of the brain and purpose, with detail. 

· Include a diagram, a process model, or provide another visual representation  of the brain structures and functions depicting accurate examples of  the structural changes that might occur or steps in the process of the  learning tasks selected.

· As  a major purpose of the work is to demonstrate an understanding of the  brain structures related to learning processes, close your work with a  succinct summary of the major aspects of the topic from the learning  experiences you selected.  

· Share  your conclusions as a result of completing this project; how is the  knowledge you have gained useful to the field of cognitive psychology,  the larger field of psychology, and society overall?
