Course Description

Educational neuroscience is an emerging interdisciplinary effort to integrate neural, developmental, and behavioral research methods and findings with educational theory and practice. We will begin with an overview of the neurobiological basis of learning and memory, followed by a systematic investigation of five key cognitive processes: emotion, attention, motivation, decision-making, and sleep, examining how each contributes to learning. Our evidence-based exploration will confront both the challenges and opportunities in creating a productive, symbiotic partnership between neuroscience and education.
