How We Learn

drastically revise my ideas about learning. I was visiting the Sarah Hospital in Brasilia, a neurological rehabilitation center with a white architecture inspired by Oscar Niemeyer, with which my laboratory has collaborated for about ten years. The director, Lucia Braga, asked me to meet one of her patients, Felipe, a young boy only seven years old, who had spent more than half his life in a hospital bed. She explained to me how, at the age of four, he had been shot in the street—unfortunately not such a rare event in Brazil. The stray bullet had severed his spinal cord, thus rendering him almost completely paralyzed (tetra paretic). It also destroyed the visual areas of his brain: he was fully blind. To help him breathe, an opening was made in his trachea, at the base of his neck.
And for over three years, he had been living in a hospital room, locked within the coffin of his inert body.
