This Week: Brain Myths Quiz – What’s Fact and What’s Fiction: This lesson tackles common brain myths and misconceptions, focusing on exaggerated claims about memory, intelligence, and brain function. It explores the scientific truths behind these myths and examines how misconceptions influence our perceptions of cognition, aging, and memory. By examining these myths through critical thinking, students will gain a clearer, evidence-based understanding of how the brain truly works.
Enjoy a brain-healthy week! We look forward to seeing you in our new semester.
