Rungsilp, Chutimon; Piromsopa, Krerk; Viriyopase, Atthaphon; U-Yen, Kongpop – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2021
The study of mind-wandering is popular since it is linked to the emotional problems and working/learning performance. In terms of education, it impacts comprehension during learning which affects academic success. Therefore, we sought to develop a machine learning model for an embedded portable device that can categorize mind-wandering state to…

Cakir, Murat Perit; Cakir, Nur; Ayaz, Hasan; Lee, Frank J. – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2016
In this study we examined the effectiveness of a mobile game called MathDash for improving computational fluency as compared to a conventional drill and practice approach with computerized multiple-choice test items. An optical brain imaging method called functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIR) was utilized to assess changes in neural…

Li, Ping; Chaby, Lauren E.; Legault, Jennifer; Braithwaite, Victoria A. – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2015
By combining emerging technologies with cognitive and education theories, we are capitalizing on recent findings from adaptive exploration and embodied learning research to address significant gaps in the education of brain sciences for school children and college level students. Through the development of virtual learning tools in combination…

Yun, Yang H.; Allen, Philip A.; Chaumpanich, Kritsakorn; Xiao, Yingcai – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2014
This short paper describes an ongoing NSF-funded project on enhancing science and engineering education using the latest technology. More specifically, the project aims at developing an interactive learning system with Microsoft Kinect™ and Unity3D game engine. This system promotes active, rather than passive, learning by employing embodied…

Kariuki, Patrick N.; Kent, Holly D. – Online Submission, 2014
The purpose of this study was to examine the difference between students' scores in comprehension (English Language Arts) tests when they are led in Brain Gym® activities before class instruction and when they are taught using traditional teaching strategies. The sample for this study consisted of 11 males and 9 females. Data were collected by…

Johnson, Jeanne M.; Ruder, Kenneth F. – 1986
A study compared the performance of congenitally deaf signers (N=39) and hearing individuals (N=39) on a bilateral tachistoscopic task. Subjects were exposed to pretested linguistic and nonlinguistic stimuli during the task. Analysis of response time indicated that deaf subjects were slower to respond than were hearing subjects across all…

Leavell, Carol; Lewandowski, Lawrence – 1989
This study addressed the left hemisphere deficiency hypothesis, associated with reading disability, by accounting for attention and examining the relationship between dichotic listening results and neuropsychological deficits. Twenty reading-disabled (RD) and 20 non-reading-disabled (NRD) boys, aged 8-12, were administered the Verbal Dichotic…

Maycock, George A. – 1988
Whether intuitive abilities can be improved through purposeful training for a more holistic approach to education was the object of this study. It was hypothesized that individuals participating in a mental training program designed to improve right-brain intuitive abilities would show significant improvement in such abilities, while a control…

Dunn, Denise A.; And Others – 1990
A study was conducted that attempted to show changes in electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns (identified using topographic EEG mapping) when children were required to perform the relatively simple task of button pressing during an eyes-open baseline session of low cognitive demand and a complex reaction time (RT) task of high cognitive demand.…

Confer-Owens, Vera A. – 1992
Two methods to teach study skills to underprepared college freshmen at a two-year technical institute were compared. The effectiveness of using a traditional method was compared to that of the Suggestive-Accelerative Learning Techniques (SALT) method, a holistic method that attempts to engage both sides of the brain by creating a positive learning…

Piro, Joseph M. – 1989
The ways in which sensory information, music in particular, is managed by the mental processing system of differentially gifted students were studied. A total of 138 right-handed adolescents and young adults (aged 14 to 22 years), who were gifted in music, mathematics, or dance, were tested on two tasks of music and one task of speech perception.…
