Supporting Workplace Learning with Neuroscience examines principles of adult learning through the lens of neuroscience and cognitive psychology, effectively demonstrating how this knowledge can be applied in organizational settings to develop professional expertise.
This book opens with three important contextual chapters that unpack the relationship between learning and performance in organizations, the science of developing expertise, and considerations of neurodiversity, culture, and ethics. It goes on to explore the cognitive, behavioral, and socio-emotional dimensions of learning, concluding with tactical chapters that discuss learning through audio-visual channels, key considerations for instructional and learning experience designers, and near-future trends. Each chapter is scaffolded by introductory vignettes and applications for practice, supported by online resources such as PowerPoint instructor slides and suggestions for further reading and resources.
Expertly combining practical insights with theory, this book will be important reading for those studying or researching Adult Education, while also providing valuable guidance to organizations seeking to support adult learners in the workplace.
