Frage Antworten
Defined investigates the processes by which the brain learns and remembers, from the molecular and cellular levels right through to brain systems.
TEACHING Teaching is a very specialized kind of social interaction, and some of its aspects (reading the minds of others, inferring their motivational and emotional states) are after all already investigated in cognitive neuroscience.
Brain volume quadruples between birth and adulthood, because of the proliferation of connections, not because of the production of new neurons.
NEUROIMAGING Studies are based on the assumption that any cognitive task makes specific demands on the brain which will be met by changes in neural activity.
COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE The tools of cognitive neuroscience offer various possibilities to education, including the early diagnosis of special educational needs, the monitoring and comparison of the effects of different kinds of educational input on learning, and an increased understanding of individual differences in learning and the best ways to suit input to learner.
LANGUAGE Hence when linguistic input is degraded or absent for various reasons (e.g., being hearing impaired, being orally impaired), speech and language are affected. Studies of normal adults show that grammatical processing relies more on frontal regions of the left hemisphere, whereas semantic processing and vocabulary learning activate posterior lateral regions of both hemispheres.
READING Neuroimaging studies of both children and adults suggest that the major systems for reading alphabetic scripts are lateralised to the left hemisphere. These studies typically measure brain responses to single word reading using fMRI or ERPs.
MATHEMATICS It has been argued that there is more than one neural system for the representation of numbers. Neural areas activated during finger counting (a developmental strategy for the acquisition of calculation skills) eventually come to partially underpin numerical manipulation skills in adults.
SLEEP AND COGNITION Neuroimaging studies suggest indeed that Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep is not only associated with self-reports of dreaming but is important for learning and memory.
EMOTION AND COGNITION The ‘emotional brain’ (LeDoux, 1996) has strong connections with frontal cortex (the major site for reasoning and problem solving). When a learner is stressed or fearful, connections with frontal cortex become impaired, with a negative impact on learning. Stress and fear also affect social judgments, and responses to reward and risk. One important function of the emotional brain is assessing the value of information being received.
NEUROMYTHS The three myths given most attention in the OECD report are (1) the lay belief in hemispheric differences (‘left brain’ versus ‘right brain’ learning etc.), (2) the notion that the brain is only plastic for certain kinds of information during certain ‘critical periods’, and that therefore education in these areas must occur during the critical periods, and (3) the idea that the most effective educational interventions need to be timed with periods of synaptogenesis.
