One-Night Stand or Lasting Relationship? Neuroscience Hacks for Successful Habit Change
October 1, 2024
6:00-7:30 PM EDT
CE Credits: 1.5 Hours
Event Description
The 2021 Training Industry report found that on average, employees received 46.7 hours of training per year and U.S. companies spent approximately $87.6 billion for all types of training including instructor-led classroom and blended-learning. In just 48 hours after learning something new and without reinforcement we are unable recall 60% of what was taught. Neuroscience provides some insight about how “neurons that fire together wire together” in terms of the number of repetitions of practice we require post-training to facilitate neuroplasticity and how long we need to facilitate deliberate practice before new behaviors become automatic (i.e., a habit). This session will introduce 10 neuroscience based “hacks” organized along these two neural pathways to help trainers and coaches apply evidence-based strategies and tips to facilitate getting started and successfully striving in learning transfer and habit change efforts.
Learning Objectives
Participants in this program will be able to:
1. Participants will be able to Describe the two neural pathways associated with motivation to change and goal setting.
2. Participants will be able to Apply a three-step individual change model (enlighten, encourage, and enable).
3. Participants will be able to Apply implementation intentions to enhance goal setting and behavior change efforts.
