About this Research Topic
Despite research in Educative Neuroscience was a new and innovative area of study, we can find a big amount of works in this direction. This kind of studies contribute to get new achievement and goals to add in this field.
In this Research Topic we would like to delph into the connection between Neuroscience and Education, go deeper studying academic performance, or confusing with working in the classroom with activities based on emotions, motivation… without introducing the study of brain structures. Nowadays, we can see how, in some context and schools, using frequently the term neuroeducation without connecting with the real analyze of the brain and its multiple options. With this Issue, we would love to give to our scientific community the real study of Neuroscience in Education, studying the brain and their answer to Comprehensive Education (Personal, Social, Emotional… development).
For example, Blanco et al. (2020) studied differences in prefrontal cortex activity based on difficulty in a working memory task. In this study, researchers found that hat the participant's performance was better in the easy trials than in the medium and hard trials. During 2008 and 2009, a total of 75 children, between 4 and 12 years old, participated in a study with the objective was analyze the relationship between attention, emotional regulation, and brain works during developmental. This study observed different electrophysiological indexes related to cognitive and emotional regulation, as a brain answer when you make a mistake.
As mentioned, with this Research Topic we want to publish works that reflect the study of the brain and try to give an answer to improve Education.
In this sense, we would be pleased to receive articles types as Brief Research Report, Case Report, Clinical Trial, Community Case Study, Correction, Data Report, Mini Review, Original Research, Perspective, Registered Report, Review, Systematic Review, Conceptual Analysis, Study Protocol, Curriculum, Instruction, and Pedagogy and Policy Brief.
Keywords: Learning, Educational Psychology, Neuropsychology of learning, Cognitive Neuroscience, Educational neuropsychology.
