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.
