The Human Brain is a Pattern-Seeking Device -- http://www.hope.edu/academic/education/wessman/unit5/brainbase.html The brain is not logical or sequential in the ways it takes in amd makes meaning of input from the world outside. (Leslie A. Hart, 1983) Instead, it is constantly searching for patterns to understand in the surrounding environment. ////// But, does everyone atually use the same pattern over and oiver, casting a ready net of anticipated queries about the nature of te external environment that the brain tries to discern? Consider that all people use the same seven senses to gather data and inform about what is "out there." It seems reasonable to assume there might well have evolved a pattern which relates and compares the seven inputs, confirming and offering options among themselves, as the "pattern" fills in all the blanks and makes sense of the sensory data. Discovery of that exact nature of the Pattern would have immense educational value, in that teachers and subject matter would then be tailored such that organized information in that pattern would result in organized understanding as an output. This would be the opposite of "Garbage in, garbage out."
