Fields I am interested in… Basic Definitions

Educational Neuroscience is an emerging scientific field that brings together researchers in cognitive neuroscience, developmental cognitive neuroscience, educational psychology, educational technology, education theory and other related disciplines to explore the interactions between biological processes and learning. Researchers in educational neuroscience investigate the neural mechanisms of reading, numerical cognition and attention, and their attendant difficulties including dyslexia and ADHD, as they relate to learning. Educational neuroscience research generates basic and applied research that will provide a new transdisciplinary account of learning and teaching, which is capable of informing education.
