The past decade has witnessed efforts on the part of research, education and policy communities to create a dialogue about the potential relationship between cognitive neuroscience and the science and practice of education. The upsurge of interest in neuroscience in general has given rise to increased attention to the role of the brain in learning.However, much of the debate has been dominated by extremes. Explorations in Learning and the Brain takes a different stance in the sense that…

From Cognitive to Educational Neuroscience
In recent years, several theoretical discussions as to the relationship between neuroscience and education have been held. Researchers have started to have cooperation over neuroscience and the…
The potential relevance of cognitive neuroscience for the development and use of technology-enhanced learning
TLDR
Findings from neuroscience demonstrate its potential relevance to technology-enhanced learning (TEL) and a range of reasons why dialogue between neuroscience and the communities involved with technology and learning is likely to increase in the future are identified.
Neuroeducational research in the design and use of a learning technology
Many have warned against a direct ‘brain scan to lesson plan’ approach when attempting to transfer insights from neuroscience to the classroom. Similarly, in the effective design and implementation…
How to achieve synergy between medical education and cognitive neuroscience? An exercise on prior knowledge in understanding
TLDR
This work discusses how prior knowledge in understanding plays a strategic role in both medical education and cognitive neuroscience and how this may result in a common language about learning, more educationally focused scientific inquiry, and multidisciplinary research projects.
Understanding the Mind
In this chapter we contend that research in and for education has suffered from a tendency to emphasise one aspect of human capability at the expense of others. For example, some research traditions…
