Does neuroscience have the potential to inform education? In this
debate, three participants will describe emerging results in
neuroscience with translatable links to learning and memory.
Experts in learning sciences will discuss connections as well as
limits in the ways that neuroscience can inform education at the
individual and classroom levels. Although significant progress has
been made in our understanding of how the brain learns and
remembers, the question for this symposium is whether this
progress does or can provide a direct bridge from brain science to
education.
