In this episode of The Senior Scoop, hosts Deborah and Kelsey Samuel sit down with Marty Wuttke to explore how the brain responds to feedback, attention, and repetition — and how learning does not stop with age.

Rather than framing the brain as something fixed, this conversation focuses on how the brain adapts based on the information it receives. Marty explains how feedback helps the brain recognize when it is moving in a helpful or unhelpful direction, and how this process supports learning, focus, and awareness over time.

The discussion highlights how observation, attention, and consistency play a role in shaping mental habits, and how creating the right environment allows the brain to adjust naturally.
