1. Neurophysiological basics of memory and learning - mechanisms of memory, types of memory, physiological factors influencing the process of memorization, relationships between memory and learning. 2. Functional brain imaging, principles of functional display methods - fMRI, PET, SPECT, MEG, meaning of functional brain imaging for study of memory and study processes. 3. Styles of learning - cognitive styles, pupils' learning styles, classification of learning styles, teachers' teaching styles, possibilities of influencing learning styles, effective use of learning styles as a part of the educational process, diagnostics of learning styles. 4. Individual characteristics of learning individuals - internal knowledge systems of pupils, their creation, genesis, and positive influence, child conception as itself and work with this kind of conception during the educative process. The possibilities of diagnostics of child concepts. 5. Didactic reconstruction - didactic transformation of the curriculum, closing the gap between the inner knowledge systems of a learning individual and the up-to-date state of knowledge. Methods of effective learning and teaching, means of didactic reconstruction. Choice of an optimal study and teaching strategy. 6. Possibilities of practical use of knowledge regarding memory and learning mechanisms.

Learning outcomes
This subject requires the understanding of the content of the subjects General didactics and Psychology of education. It requires basic knowledge in the areas of anatomy and physiology of the central nervous system of humans. The goal of this subject is to familiarize its students with the expanded knowledge following the content of subjects focused on the general didactic and psychology of education. The educational content of this subject is introduced as a complex of neurophysiological processes happening inside various parts of the brain, which is understood within biological phenomenology as an autopoietic system. Mechanisms of memory and learning are also discussed among the possibilities of their educational influence. Knowledge about the neurophysiological processes in the brain is further applied in the educational area in regard to the individual characteristics of pupils
The student is familiar with the issue.
Prerequisites
This subject requires completion and comprehension of a previous subject called Educational Psychology of Adults. It requires basic knowledge of anatomy and physiology of the human central nervous system.
