MIT Festival of Learning 2023 keynote speaker Bror Saxberg focused on how well-designed learning environments that use learning engineering can increase learning success, as supported by learning science research and his experiences at LearningForge LLC and Kaplan Inc.
Neurocognitive training has been shown to improve a range of cognitive/executive functions and behavior in children. Delivering this training in a school context may enhance its ecological validity and improve training outcomes. The current study examined the efficacy of two school-based neurocognitive training approaches for enhancing executive functions (EF) in typically developing children: neurocognitive training with no teacher positive feedback (NCT), and neurocognitive training with teacher positive feedback (NCT-TPF). Using a randomized control design, 45 children were randomly allocat...
Reinforcement sensitivity is reduced with chronic escitalopram compared with placebo in volunteers with no significant effects on cold cognitive measures.
Background: Inconsistent observations of pupillary response and blink change in response to different specific tasks raise questions regarding the relationship between eye measures, task types and working memory (WM) models. On the one hand, studies have provided mixed evidence from eye measures about tasks: pupil size has mostly been reported to increase with increasing task demand while this expected change was not observed in some studies, and blink rate has exhibited different trends in different tasks. On the other hand, a WM model has been developed to integrate a component to reconcile ...
