I like how one of the points made in this myth module was to be weary of percetages that easily end with a zero of 5, and the percentages added to the cone are all at the ten percetage ending - and are not grounded in research - but it was reminder to check our sources more and while on the surface it might be desirbale to want to say that a certain percatge is reatined by these neat little amounts - there is no formual for retaining information. We all need to review and make sure we encoded it… >>>

I am amazed that we continue to get reinforcement on 'learning styles' as if it is more than just theory.  I'm curious if other readers are seeing the same or am I just 'way behind?"

What this lead me to was to consider other aspects of aging on the brain.  Yes, I know that 'exercising' the brain and learning new skills (new language / musical instrument) are very good ways to stimulate neural pathways, but what else can we do adult learners who are nearing 50 and older to help them?
