Neuroscience: contributions and experiences in the several types of learning

The knowledge about neuroscience has transcended the area of medicine, and is recently the subject of pedagogical studies in the search for comprehension of the best way to teach for all students. In light of this, the objective of this work was to present some experiments from neuroscience in the process of teaching and learning, showing its influences in different types of learning: learning by association, learning by meaning and learning by analogies and metaphors, from the conducting of an exploratory and descriptive research. The results show that each one of these learning processes presents its particularities, although all of them show evidence of associations with the previous knowledge of the individuals and, by researching the different types of learning, it was found that all types value the student and aim to spark their motivation, promoting a differentiated learning experience, personalized, enjoyable and meaningful. It is noteworthy, therefore, the importance of understanding the basics of cognitive neurobiology needed in the teaching and learning.
