Description

In this episode, we investigate why active learning might be a key resource for people in hazardous industries to retain vital information and stay safe. Adam speaks with Dr Natasha Sigala, Senior Lecturer in Neuroscience at the University of Sussex, about neurocognitive patterns and memory structures or, put more simply, how story-telling makes us remember better. https://profiles.sussex.ac.uk/p256526-natasha-sigala
