Memories Are Made of This

I continue to be puzzled by the reluctance of educators to embrace a picture of learning that looks even remotely like this: "when we experience something - say riding a bicycle for the first time - a network of neurons in the brain are activated. Then, later on, when we recall that first experience, that same network, or something like it, is activated again." Nothing complicated, no brain-writing or transfer or storage of 'facts'. Nothing but neurons connecting. Simple - but I guess academics have to have their magic. Via George Siemens.
