Today’s episode invites us to explore the conceptions of our brains that dominate so much of our thinking about learning and education. In her research, Annie has found that western culture is extremely brain bound, which means that we overvalue the role of thinking in our own experience. We think of the brain as a computer, a tool. As we’ll learn in later episodes of this podcast, this bias has deep historical roots in western culture. It helps explain how we ended up with our current ideas about what school is, what learning is, and what it means to be smart. But to understand all this, we first need to know how our brains work in the world, which is where Annie comes in.
