- Recent discoveries in neuroscience and cognitive psychology have helped researchers identify four variables. Attention, generation, emotion, and spacing. Which, when optimized by design, provide the ideal conditions for learning to happen. Let's take a quick look at each of these variables and discover how you can create more engaging and effective eLearning experiences with these variables in mind. Designing to improve the quality of a learner's attention is first and foremost. The more we pay attention to incoming information, the stronger our memory and recall of that information will be in the future. Sounds simple, yet attention is a complex process.
