UDL summarizes brain functions into three networks. The first network is for recognition. Recogntion asks, "What?" What do we hear, see, feel, taste, or sense?
Your task in this section is to further define what UDL means by the Recognition Network (RN for shorthand) and what strategies and tools you can use to take advantage of or facilitate the use of the RN.
Recognition networks provide learners with ways to observe and record information. According to the site linked above, they: 1. Provide multiple examples 2. Highlight critical features 3. Provide multiple media and formats 4. Support background knowledge
Recognition networks can identify things we interact with through our senses. Sights, sounds, tastes, smells and feelings of touch are each recognized in specialized areas (modules) in the brain dependent on the type of stimulus. The complex system is very efficient and extremely quick, allowing one to identify things in a fraction of a second. Since every individual’s brain is unique, the patterns of brain activity during recognition vary from person to person. This may account for times when two people perceive the same thing differently. For example, if two people smell the same aroma, one person may like it and the other person may not.
