Extract

While visiting Europe in 1986 I had the opportunity to observe an exciting educational experiment in Vienna. Dr. Guttmann, professor of biology and Dr. Vanecek, professor of psychology, worked together at the Boltzmann Institute for Learning Research to apply the latest psycho-biological findings to education. First they did this under laboratory conditions and later they proposed workable classroom procedures. In the laboratory they used “Cortical Evoked Potentials” to determine students’ activation levels and how they could alter these to improve their learning retention. From this they developed a model of classroom instruction.
