The study of learning unites education and neuroscience

|
| 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. |
Cognitive neuroscience methods help to identify special needs and enable assessment of the
delivery of education

The process of brain development's
is called synaptogenesis

It is important to realize that there are large individual differences between brains.

|
| 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 |
and an increased
understanding of individual differences in learning and the best ways to suit input to
learner

| 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 | Language Reading Mathematics |
| Direct effects of experience will have specific effects, increasing neural representations in areas directly relevant to the skills involved. | For example- Musical Experience |
| Sleep and cognition | Recent neuroimaging studies suggest indeed that Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep is not only associated with self-reports of dreaming but it is important for learning and memory. |
| Emotion and cognition | The ‘emotional brain’ has strong connections with the 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 |
| Neuromyths | There are no studies showing implicit learning of the cognitive skills underpinning educational achievement. These skills most likely require effortful learning and direct teaching. |
