Concepts and Language

The NsLLT has four levels of learning. The first level of learning is at the sensory input. The second level happens as the sensory features are turned into patterns through cellular pathway transmission. Now we have an input-output model of learning. So, provide a model and get a response. Or, give an answer to a question that is either right or wrong. The testing of such a learning system results in basic recall. If I can respond to sensory input at the present time or in the future, then I am learning at the first two levels.

Where do the concepts and language levels of learning occur? Well, the Central Nervous System (CNS) which includes the pathways from the senses to the cerebrum on to the cortex and neocortex provides for two additional levels of learning. The third level of learning occurs as the sensory feature pathways communicate to other cellular structures forming neuro-semantic cerebral circuits resulting in images. These images are concepts, the learner’s unique background of meaning. These unique meanings interconnect into neuro-semantic networks which result in representations or language.

An additional explanation of such system of conceptual and language learning can be found in the Neuro Ed Press posting on You Tube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1bi-16Ya2g
