PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF EDUCATION CURRENT TRENDS CONFERENCE SERIES
Educational Neuroscience: An Emerging Discipline
Birkbeck College, London
The conference focused on the emerging discipline of ‘educational neuroscience’. Educational psychologists are now acting as mediators between educationists and neuroscientists, with all three disciplines focusing on the shared problem of how to promote better learning across the lifespan.
Keynote Speakers were
Prof Usha Goswami (Director of the Cambridge Centre for Neuroscience in Education)
Prof Dan Schwartz (School of Education, Stanford University)
Prof Brian Butterworth (Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, UCL) |
