Abstract:

This article takes on the topic of the brain that learns, and describes the process of learning of the thinking organ; the ways its development is facilitated throughout our whole life through the numerous synaptic connections that are established between neurons, all of which facilitate stimulation and development of skills, abilities and competencies that bring about the construction of new knowledge. The former demonstrates the plasticity, flexibility and adaptability of the brain that can only be improved through the implementation of favorable environments for learning, and through pedagogical factors and strategies that increase the total development of the brain.

Keywords: factors, pedagogical strategies, total brain, cognitive development, synapses, neurons, plasticity, flexibility, learning environments, emotions and feelings.
