Abstract:
The main aim of this research is to show the way in which the teacher can use complex cognitive patterns with the students and in this way to develop new pedagogical and didactical models. Taking as a referent the concept of the complex brain functions, we must be aware of the importance of the new learning for the development of our personal heritage and how it is crucial as it continues throughout our entire lifetime.
Brain plasticity will be the model used to explain how the students or people adjust themselves to the changing conditions or contexts of learning and how they connect the new learning with the previous one. In this sense brain plasticity is developed through the use and organization of the information, in the end leading to the establishment of ordered neural connections, which enables the brain plasticity.
People use different cerebral systems to learn according to the nature of learning and according to the kind of memory that they use: we can divide the memory in three types: episodic, semantic and procedural. The relations between neuropsychological functions and the cognitive skills of the students can improve if we apply different programs of coordinated activities resolution, promoting the enhancing and the transfer of learning and neural connections.Keywords:
