Dr. Immordino-Yang: How Emotions & Social Factors Impact Learning | Huberman Lab Podcast

In this episode, my guest is Mary Helen Immordino-Yang, EdD, professor of education, psychology and neuroscience at the University of Southern California and director of the Center for Affective Neuroscience, Development, Learning and Education, who has done groundbreaking research on emotions, self-awareness and social interactions and how these impact the way we learn and change across our lifespan. She explains how an understanding of emotions can be leveraged to improve learning in children and in adults, and how the education system should be altered to include new forms of exploration and to facilitate better learning and to include more diverse learning (and teaching) styles. This episode ought to be of interest to anyone interested in how we learn, human development in children and adults, as well as those generally interested in education, psychology or neuroscience. #HubermanLab #Science #Learning Thank you to our sponsors AG1: Eight Sleep: HVMN: ROKA: InsideTracker: Momentous: The Brain Body Contract Huberman Lab Social & Website Instagram - Twitter - Facebook - TikTok - @hubermanlab Website - Newsletter - Dr. Mary Helen Immordino-Yang USC Academic Profile: USC Center for Affective Neuroscience, Development, Learning and Education: Emotions, Learning, and the Brain (Book): YouTube: @candle79 TEDx talk: Twitter: LinkedIn: Articles Neural correlates of admiration and compassion: 0pubmed Decoding the neural representation of story meanings across languages: Default and executive networks’ roles in diverse adolescents’ emotionally engaged construals of complex social issues: Cultural differences in the neural correlates of social–emotional feelings: an interdisciplinary, developmental perspective: Building Meaning Builds Teens’ Brains: How People Learn II: The Smoke Around Mirror Neurons: Goals as Sociocultural and Emotional Organizers of Perception and Action in Learning: Diverse Adolescents’ Transcendent Thinking Predicts Young Adult Psychosocial Outcomes via Brain Network Development: Sages and Seekers: The development of diverse adolescents’ transcendent thinking and purpose through an intergenerational storytelling program: Timestamps 00:00:00 Dr. Mary Helen Immordino-Yang 00:02:11 Sponsors: Eight Sleep, HVMN, ROKA 00:05:54 Inspiration, Awe & Story 00:09:59 Brain-Body, Narratives 00:15:58 Emotions, Durability & Lifespan 00:21:47 Conjuring Stories, Historical Context & Emotion 00:32:16 Sponsor: AG1 00:33:30 Hierarchal Emotion Organization, Default Mode Network, Story & Emotion 00:46:24 Emotional Development & Lifetime 00:57:13 Narrative & Genocide; Checking Assumptions & Mental Flexibility 01:05:22 Social Media, Cognitive Dissonance 01:09:52 Education, Deconstructing Beliefs & Curiosity 01:17:22 Sponsor: InsideTracker 01:18:32 Emotion & Learning; Constructing Meaning 01:28:59 Good Teachers & Curiosity 01:33:25 Inter-disciplinary Education; Development & Culture 01:50:58 Idea Exploration, Tolerance 01:56:53 Reframing Education, Deconstructing Assumptions 02:03:28 Safety, Creativity & Default Mode Network 02:12:15 Civic Discourse & Education; Deconstructing Ideas 02:27:31 “Mirror” Neurons, Shared Social Experiences 02:35:49 Cold Exposure & Sickness; Role of Education 02:38:51 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube Feedback, Spotify & Apple Reviews, Sponsors, Momentous, Social Media, Neural Network Newsletter Title Card Photo Credit: Mike Blabac - Disclaimer:
