The Promise of Discovery Season 5, Episode 4

This research explored how combining visual perception with motor practice—specifically drawing unfamiliar symbols—leads to lasting brain changes that support learning. Participants trained by drawing new letter-like symbols over four days while researchers tracked their brain activity using fMRI scans before, immediately after, and one-week post-training. The after-training scans revealed significant differences in activity within several brain regions—including the motor cortex—during the perception of trained compared to untrained symbols that were greater one-week post-training. This suggests that hands-on, visual-motor learning builds long-term changes in how the brain processes visual information, with potential implications for educational strategies and interventions.

Si vous avez déjà passé un peu de temps avec un nouveau-né, vous vous êtes peut-être demandé ce qu'il voyait lorsqu'il quittait le ventre tranquille de son parent et entrait dans un nouveau monde si stimulant et coloré. S'agit-il d'une simple impression ou me regarde-t-il vraiment ? Reconnaît-il mon visage ? Peut-il distinguer les objets qui l’entourent ou ne voit-il que des ombres et des images très floues ?
