CONTENTS Pre-viewing I While-viewing II Post-viewing III 3 1. Have you ever heard a saying in English: “You can never teach an old dog new tricks.” What does it mean? Pre-viewing It means that it is very difficult to teach someone new skills or to change someone’s habits or character. 2. Do you think we can only learn certain topics at certain times? Why?

As far as I’m concerned, we can continue to learn no matter how old we are. 1.Why did we visit Dr. Frederic Dick of Birkbeck College London? 2.Do we continue to learn and develop our brain throughout life or are we predisposed to learn certain topics only at certain times? Why? 3.Find out what the video is mainly about. Choose the best answer from a, b, c. The latest research finding on brain research. Why people can learn from birth until death.

While-viewing 1.Why did we visit Dr. Frederic Dick of Birkbeck College London? 1) Because he is a leading expert in the development of children’s brains. 2) To find out more about the field. 2. Do we continue to learn and develop our brain throughout life or are we predisposed to learn certain topics only at certain times? Why? We can continue to learn even after the development years due to brain plasticity. 3.Find out what the video is mainly about. Choose the best answer from a, b, c. a.

What is the result of the people taking juggling exercises in just three months in the 2004 research? Activity 5: Watch the final part of the video and answer the questions. Activity 6: Watch the video clips and check your answers. 1.What is “brain plasticity”? Why is it important for the function of the brain? Brain plasticity means our brains can continue to change and develop in response to our experiences. It is really perhaps the fundamental organising principle in our brain function. We see plasticity, every level of brain function happening throughout life, up until your dying day. 2.What is the result of the people taking juggling exercises in just three months in the 2004 research? There was significant expansion in areas of the brains associated with visual processing in the experiment. Discuss in groups and give a group presentation. What did you learn from the video? What advice might you give to elderly people and parents of school children? What I learnt from the video is that... My advice for elderly people and parents of school children is that...
