In order to improve everyday thinking, we need to understand the difficulties we’re operating under and the fact that we can’t make fully informed, deliberate decisions on most of the issues we face. We need to understand the shortcuts that people use (and must use).
ABSTRACT: In response to Voelker et al. (this issue), we argue for a wide array of neural oscillatory mechanisms underlying learning and practice. While the authors propose frontal theta power as the basis for learning-induced neuroplasticity, we believe that the temporal dynamics of other frequency bands, together with their synchronization properties can offer a fuller account[…]
Metacognition was explained for the first time as the knowledge and regulation of one’s cognitive activities of each in the learning process (Flavell, 1979; Brown, 1978). According to this definition, for the proper acquisition of knowledge we need the use of metacognitive skills, and it is in this area where the GLD (Guided Learning Diary Tool)[…]
Just discovered this Youtube channel (instantly subscribed to it, of course:) ), and I recommend it to all my readers: The Ling Space In this video you can look at… “What do our eyes do while we read written language? What can their movements tell us about our processing? In this week’s episode, we look at[…]
Very happy to announce that my research on Learning, Brain and Language starts today! I will be able to publish new posts very soon which might be of interest to you. The first part of my research will be based on understanding how the brain works and learns, and for this aim I will study this bibliography:[…]
