Sprecher: Prof. Bruce McCandliss, Ph.D.
Moderation: Prof. Dr. Christine Falter-Wagner (CAS Young Center/Klinische Entwicklungspsychologie, LMU)
Wide variations in functional and structural brain development from late child through adolescence are known to be primarily experience-dependent. Recent discoveries in Educational Neuroscience have tied these relationships more specifically to educational experiences situated within the schooling systems that govern and shape them. This talk will review recent findings from the Stanford Educational Neuroscience Initiative that link schooling experiences to the rate of white matter development as well as real-time electrophysical dynamics of cortical activity that gives rise to developments in attention, reading, and mathematical reasoning that are foundational to building an educated mind.
Bruce McCandliss is Professor at Stanford University, where he holds appointments in both the Graduate School of Education and the Interdisciplinary Program in Neuroscience. He is currently a Visiting Fellow at CAS. His research bridges neuroscience, psychology, and education, with a focus on understanding learning processes and individual differences among learners.
Das Forschungskolloquium am CAS richtet sich vorrangig an Universitätsangehörige.
