Have you ever looked at the face of a toddler who is just learning to walk? The absolute delight is undeniable. Their smiles let us know that learning to walk is a pleasure! What if we felt that kind of pleasure when learning other things like math, or science? The human brain releases dopamine when we learn things like walking. Dopamine is a chemical that allows us to feel pleasure, improves our memory and motivates us to keep working toward our goals. Dopamine is also released when we play digital learning games, which can result in increased learning rates! What’s more, this dopamine release can cause the brain to associate problem-solving with pleasure, and make us want to keep doing it. Check out the infographic to find out more!
