Natural Human Learning Process Essay

How The Natural Human Learning Process Affects Us The Natural Human Learning Process is very important in our everyday lives; everything we learn during our day is affected by the Natural Human Learning Process. According to Rita Smilkstein there are six steps to the Natural Human Learning Process which affect our learned skills. Our learned skills are stored in our neurons which are easiest to remember if you think of it as a tree in our dendrites. What causes our dendrites to grow is the process of synaptic firing which is most relatable to the firing of a spark plug. Our emotions are what affect our synaptic firing which will affect our dendrite growth. When we understand how our emotions affect our learning we can use it to our advantage when we go through our lives.

Dendrites grow through a process called synaptic firing; synaptic firing would be very similar to the firing of a spark plug. A spark plug fires by a fuel in this case gasoline coming in contact with air, a synapse fires by endorphins coming in contact with the skill causing the knowledge to go through the neuron and into your dendrites causing them to grow. Some days are harder than others to grow our dendrites because we may have encountered a situation causing stress, stress is going to create norepinephrine which would basically be like replacing the gas in our car to water which makes our synapse not fire correctly. Although just because we had encountered this stressful event does not mean that our brain is not working, it just becomes harder for us to retain the knowledge we had just learned, so the less stress you have while learning the easier it becomes to learn that skill. Our dendrites obtain the knowledge from synaptic firing because of the conductivity to the axon terminals which send the knowledge through the axon and the soma to the dendrites which will cause them to grow as we learn more about the thing stored in that
