Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.60,0:01:34.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I'm going to bring this back later on
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.29,0:01:39.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in a different model but again that idea that students

Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.64,0:01:46.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we build on that

Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.83,0:02:07.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Do you know anything about flying?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.76,0:02:09.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And how you learn to fly?

Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.90,0:02:17.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you have to learn basic concepts
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.14,0:02:21.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and vocabulary and then you get in a plane with
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.55,0:02:25.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the instructor and you begin to learn
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.18,0:02:27.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the instrument panel
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.63,0:02:29.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the instrument panel on the plane
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.45,0:02:32.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that you learn on is nothing like this
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.19,0:02:34.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it's much smaller plane
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.52,0:02:38.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,their only permitted to fly like under the clouds
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.32,0:02:39.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or only so high at first
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.53,0:02:43.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to were you don't need certain kinds
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.56,0:02:46.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of instrumentation and then as you get so many
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.07,0:02:49.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hours you move up in terms of the level
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.44,0:02:51.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of sophistication with the airplane.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.07,0:02:53.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The same thing applies to how we sequence
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.74,0:02:56.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,our courses right you get some fundamental
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.01,0:02:59.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,background knowledge before you can move forward.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.68,0:03:03.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is why my dad retains alot
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.45,0:03:06.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of what he learned was because his instructor's
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.36,0:03:09.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,didn't let him go on until they were confident

Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.32,0:03:19.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and right or wrong for how we've structured
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.51,0:03:21.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,higher education it's often possible
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.87,0:03:24.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for students to move on in their schooling

Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.31,0:03:31.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the challenge then is to think
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.48,0:03:34.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what kind of background knowledge
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.88,0:03:38.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,do students need first of all to get into
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.27,0:03:41.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you're course and then what kind of background
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.42,0:03:43.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,knowledge are they going to need from you're course
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.42,0:03:44.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to get to the next level?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.68,0:03:47.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That should help us define what it is

Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.93,0:03:50.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and if you're teaching something
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.53,0:03:54.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that doesn't fall in that range why bother.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.15,0:03:58.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it would be better to focus on the background
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.30,0:03:59.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,knowledge that there going to need.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.87,0:04:05.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay here's a model of thinking
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.61,0:04:07.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and this is pure cognitive science
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.68,0:04:13.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you get information from the environment
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.00,0:04:17.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,new information stuff that I'm telling you
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.89,0:04:22.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,right now and it goes and it interacts
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.03,0:04:23.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with what you already know in you're long term memory
Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.70,0:04:26.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it get's played with in what we call
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.53,0:04:29.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you're working memory and the process
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.90,0:04:33.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of thinking is the combining
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.17,0:04:36.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of this long term memory
Dialogue: 0,0:04:36.38,0:04:39.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and what you are learning or experiencing
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.75,0:04:42.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for the first time it get's into the working memory
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.95,0:04:45.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you work it enough that eventually
Dialogue: 0,0:04:45.59,0:04:47.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it get's into it goes back into
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.74,0:04:48.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the long term memory
Dialogue: 0,0:04:48.82,0:04:52.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,okay..very, very simple model of how people think
Dialogue: 0,0:04:52.99,0:04:57.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now the problem is that working knowledge
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.20,0:04:59.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can only hold so much
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.12,0:05:02.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's limited in it's capacity
Dialogue: 0,0:05:02.00,0:05:04.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how long are telephone numbers?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.74,0:05:10.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Seven or ten digits right how long is a zip code?

Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.52,0:05:23.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's because it's around seven things
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.56,0:05:26.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we can hold in our working memory
Dialogue: 0,0:05:26.89,0:05:28.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at one time some of us can hold a little more
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.84,0:05:31.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,some days it's a little less right
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.83,0:05:34.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,okay it has to be exercised
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.27,0:05:37.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if this working memory is not exercised
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.06,0:05:41.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it does atrophy and when it comes to holding
Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.10,0:05:44.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,those things experts see different patterns
Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.77,0:05:48.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how many of you are musicians?

Dialogue: 0,0:06:16.14,0:06:20.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well Lou is working her in a series
Dialogue: 0,0:06:20.81,0:06:25.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that has a lot of chromatic

Dialogue: 0,0:06:35.03,0:06:37.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then she applies this in a piece
Dialogue: 0,0:06:37.85,0:06:40.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's a pretty well coordinated series that she's in
Dialogue: 0,0:06:40.70,0:06:44.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and she's turning a corner and she's beginning
Dialogue: 0,0:06:44.94,0:06:47.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to recognize patterns musically
Dialogue: 0,0:06:47.31,0:06:49.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that she's becoming a much better sight reader
Dialogue: 0,0:06:49.88,0:06:51.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,she'll pick up a piece of music and play it
Dialogue: 0,0:06:51.74,0:06:53.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because she kind of knows
Dialogue: 0,0:06:53.28,0:06:56.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what that chromatic is suppose to sound like
Dialogue: 0,0:06:56.19,0:06:58.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in that piece of music and it's really exciting
Dialogue: 0,0:06:58.98,0:07:02.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to see this I've said to her
Dialogue: 0,0:07:02.02,0:07:03.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Anna your becoming an expert
Dialogue: 0,0:07:03.12,0:07:04.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because now your recognizing
Dialogue: 0,0:07:04.42,0:07:06.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,patterns that you couldn't see two years ago

Dialogue: 0,0:07:12.16,0:07:14.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and so experts see things differently

Dialogue: 0,0:07:21.46,0:07:24.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and so part of what we have to do is share
Dialogue: 0,0:07:24.74,0:07:27.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that thinking process and those patterns
Dialogue: 0,0:07:27.41,0:07:30.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so but they first have to have
Dialogue: 0,0:07:30.56,0:07:34.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that background information to build on that
Dialogue: 0,0:07:34.39,0:07:47.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay, -unintelligible- doing
