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) |

Workshop on Concepts of Learning
Goodenough College, Mecklenburgh Square, WC1
The object of this workshop was to provide people working in the different core strands of CEN activity (education, computational modelling, and neuroscience) with the opportunity to hear about each others’ perspectives on the key shared issue of learning, and to exchange thoughts about potentially fruitful areas of collaboration. The day was structured around 30 minute presentations on each strand, each of which will be followed by two 10 minute reflections from discussants in other strands, and then 25 minutes of more open discussion. The workshop concluded with targeted small group discussion on specific areas of research.
