He emphasized that brain possesses a very powerful interconnect system which can reconstruct the past, construct the present and make possible prediction of future basing on prior knowledge. In this view, the hippocampus plays a vital role in the reconstruction of life events and navigation in various social worlds. Again, Nadel provided an example of how brain can bring changes on the way one learns, mentioning the study on kids that goal orientation makes good results. Both Nadel and Medina share insights of the impact of affective cognitive on the one’s productive learning. If one is emotionally stable at home he/she can do well at school.

All discussions overlapped at some points and diverged in very few, but the lecturers provided deeper glimpse of how brain is able to perform different tasks and how relevant it is the construction and reconstruct of events captured from outdoor worlds.
