You can help with this loss of information by capturing the experience into an actual environment where they can revisit the different parts they can not remember. Gavin Lindores can demonstrate this for you in real time today and share why this is critical for information processing. 🧠 So important when safety is on the line! #learningdonebetter #itsmorethanvectorvideos
