Findings suggest that teachers who are enthusiastic about the possible application of neuroscience findings in the classroom find it difficult to distinguish pseudoscience from scientific facts, and possessing greater general knowledge does not appear to protect teachers from believing in neuromyths.

The results showed that VLT performance decreased in an age-dependent manner from an early age, and the learning capacity of younger versus older adults differed quantitatively rather than qualitatively.

Overall, it was concluded that although semiautomated and voxel-based methods can provide a reasonable estimate of regional brain volume, they cannot serve as a substitute for manual volumetry.

Learning and retrieval rate of words presented auditorily and visually.
An experiment was carried out using normal subjects, in which the effects of presentation mode and order of modality were investigated, and there were no differential effects of these variables on several parameters, such as the number of words recalled and the learning curve.

The written and oral versions of the Letter Digit Substitution Test were administered to a large, cognitively screened sample of adults and the effect of a low versus high level of education on LDST performance was comparable to about 20 years of aging.

The results showed that especially the speed-dependent Stroop scores, rather than the accuracy measures, were profoundly affected by the demographic variables, and suggests that executive function, as measured by the Stroop test, declines with age and that the decline is more pronounced in people with a low level of education.

Even in healthy individuals in this restricted age range, there is a clear, age-related decrease in performance on executive functioning, verbal fluency, verbal memory, and cognitive speed tasks.
Cerebral white matter lesions and cognitive function: The Rotterdam scan study

Tasks that involve speed of cognitive processes appear to be more affected by WMLs than memory tasks, and subjects with most severe periventricular W MLs performed nearly 1 SD below average on tasks involving psychomotor speed, and more than 0.5SD below average for global cognitive function.
