Prüfungsangst - Forschung zu Lernen und Angst

The video explores how emotions, particularly anxiety, affect memory and learning. It explains the fight or flight response, rooted in evolution, and how high pressure can limit brain function and learning. An experiment by Professor Dr. Hüther demonstrated that stress reduces brain activity, while a relaxed state enhances learning. The video suggests breathing exercises to switch from protection mode to learning mode and invites viewers to share their thoughts on pressure and learning.
