Episode notes

"I break processing into three different areas with their input, the processing and the output."

Dr. Pippa Busch, a child and educational psychologist, discusses the concept of processing time in education. She breaks down the process into three stages: input, processing, and output.

The input stage involves sensory organs converting stimuli into neural signals.

The processing stage involves working memory and long-term memory, as well as decision-making and planning responses.

The output stage is the response to the information received. Dr. Busch emphasizes that processing time varies for each individual and is influenced by factors such as experience, genetics, stress levels, and sleep. She also highlights the importance of creating a safe space for learning and normalizing mistakes in the classroom.
