Intelligence Across the Seventh Decade in Patients with Brain Injuries Acquired in Young Adulthood
Publication date: Available online 4 September 2018Source: Trends in Neuroscience and EducationAuthor(s): Shira Cohen-Zimerman, Carola Salvi, Frank Krueger, Barry Gordon, Jordan GrafmanAbstractIn this longitudinal study, we examined intelligence in a group of Vietnam veterans in their 60s who suffered combat-related penetrating traumatic brain injuries (pTBI) in their 20s (n=120), as well as matched veterans with no brain damage (n=33). Intelligence was evaluated using the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT) administered before the injury occurred and then again at three points in time over the following 45 years. We te...

Bringing attention restoration theory to the classroom: A tablet app using nature videos to replenish effortful cognition
Publication date: September 2018Source: Trends in Neuroscience and Education, Volume 12Author(s): A. Moreno, S. Baker, K. Varey, R. Hinze-PiferAbstractMuch of the research on the use of technology with young children in classrooms concerns whether programs or apps can be sufficiently interactive so as to produce learning outcomes similar to those achieved through teacher instruction and other contingently responsive interactions. The present report describes an effort to do precisely the opposite. That is, we created a technology experience intended to involve as little interaction and effort as possible, and which has no ...

Effects of Teaching the Concept of Neuroplasticity to Induce a Growth Mindset on Motivation, Achievement, and Brain Activity: A Meta-Analysis
Publication date: Available online 29 July 2018Source: Trends in Neuroscience and EducationAuthor(s): Jérémie Blanchette Sarrasin, Lucian Nenciovici, Lorie-Marlène Brault Foisy, Geneviève Allaire-Duquette, Martin Riopel, Steve MassonAbstractInducing a growth mindset in students has been shown to impact positively on motivation, academic achievement, and brain activity. However, some studies have yielded different results and authors rarely provide reasons to explain this inconsistency. In an effort to better understand the conflicting evidence, we conducted a meta-analysis of 10 peer-reviewed studies including particip...

Chronic effects of exercise implemented during school-break time on neurophysiological indices of inhibitory control in adolescents
Publication date: March 2018Source: Trends in Neuroscience and Education, Volume 10Author(s): Sebastian Ludyga, Markus Gerber, Christian Herrmann, Serge Brand, Uwe PühseAbstractThe present study investigated the effects of an exercise intervention, which was implemented during school-break time, on the P300 component of event-related potentials and inhibitory control. Adolescents aged 12–15 years were allocated to an exercise and control group. The exercise group performed 20 min of aerobic and coordinative exercise per school day over a period of 8 weeks. Before and after the intervention, stimulus-locked event-re...

The modulation of personal traits in neural responses during the aesthetic experience of mundane art
This study addresses group differences with regard to the neural mechanisms of aesthetic emotions and aesthetic judgments toward everyday designed products according to levels of everyday aesthetic experience and expertise in design. A fMRI experiment that included 26 college students was employed. The findings of this study suggest that rich everyday aesthetic experience elicits more brain activations in aesthetic judgments, and expertise in design elicits more brain activations in aesthetic emotions. Comparatively, rich everyday experience and expertise modulate the integration of external sensation and internal states, ...

Short-term cognitive training recapitulates hippocampal functional changes associated with one year of longitudinal skill development
Publication date: March 2018Source: Trends in Neuroscience and Education, Volume 10Author(s): Miriam Rosenberg-Lee, Teresa Iuculano, Se Ri Bae, Jennifer Richardson, Shaozheng Qin, Dietsje Jolles, Vinod MenonAbstractA goal of developmental cognitive neuroscience is to uncover brain mechanisms underlying successful learning. While longitudinal studies capture brain changes following ‘schooling as usual’, short-term training studies can more directly link learning to brain changes. We investigated whether eight weeks of cognitive training recapitulates longitudinal changes in hippocampal engagement and connectivity. Ninet...

A study of 16 years old student learning strategies from a neuropsychological perspective: An intervention proposal
Publication date: June 2018Source: Trends in Neuroscience and Education, Volume 11Author(s): Pilar Martín-Lobo, Isabel Martínez-Álvarez, Álvaro Muelas, Silvia Pradas, Alberto MagreñánAbstractScientific achievements related to brain processes provide innovation and improvements in students’ learning. The aim of this study was to analyse, relate, and compare learning strategies and academic performance of students from a neuropsychological perspective. For this, we applied the ACRA scale to 438 students to evaluate learning strategies such as acquisition, codification, retrieval and information processing support. Fu...
