  • Title: Living in the 21st Century With a Stone Age Brain
  • Time: 4pm
  • Location: Rm 320, Center for Teaching and Learning(CTL) How to get to CTL

The human brain hasn't changed much during the last 5,000 years, yet today we're using our brains in remarkably complex ways never imagined by our remote ancestors. Are there telltale mental signs of our brain's "prehistoric" roots? By demonstrating some of the mind's accomplishments and some of its limitations, I will argue that the answer is "yes." Particular examples will be drawn from visual perception, reasoning, learning and remembering.
