Neuroscience and Education
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.
The process of brain development's
is called synaptogenesis
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
The
tools of cognitive neuroscience offer various possibilities to education, as the
early diagnosis of special educational needs
In education, it is not necessary to stimulate only the rational brain, but also the emotional.
Selected studies from cognitive neuroscience with interesting
implications for education
Direct effects of experience will have specific effects, increasing neural
representations in areas directly relevant to the skills involved.
