The Dendrite Learning Advantage - Active Learning
Engaging the Brain for Maximum Retention
Why Passive Learning Fails
Most corporate training relies on passive learning methods—lectures, slides, and videos. The problem? Passive learning doesn’t activate the brain’s key learning regions, leading to low engagement, poor retention, and minimal real-world application. Studies show:
Employees forget 75% of lecture-based training within 48 hours.
Passive learning does not effectively stimulate the hippocampus or prefrontal cortex, areas critical for memory formation and problem-solving.
Active learning methods increase performance by 1.5x compared to passive training n.
The Science of Active Learning
Neuroscience proves that learning by doing leads to stronger memory formation and greater skill application. Active learning engages multiple brain regions simultaneously, reinforcing neural pathways and making information easier to recall.

How Dendrite Learning Integrates Active Learning
Hands-on problem-solving – Employees engage with real-world scenarios to apply knowledge immediately.
Gamification & challenge-based learning – Engages employees through competition and reward systems.
Collaborative discussions & peer learning – Strengthens memory pathways and cognitive processing.
Multi-sensory engagement – Uses visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic learning techniques for deeper encoding.
