neuroplasticity

Possible neural oscillatory mechanisms underlying learning

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

A new tool for promoting metacognition: the Guided Learning Diary

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)[…]
