2. “Here- Me- Now” meaning for students “Here-me-now” refers to the way the brain is attracted to things that are personally valued and that have the potential to bring pleasure of satisfaction sooner, rather than later. We want students to develop the capacity to delay immediate gratification, but first they need to be engaged in the process of extending their knowledge. This is not an inherently pleasurable goal for the brain which is programmed to survive danger …..When we ask students to take on the brain stress of extending their knowledge beyond what they already understand, we are asking them to move out of their comfort zones…. Using ‘here-me-now’ strategies increases the likelihood that the brain filter will select the information you want students to take into their brains”
