VestibulOTherapy is an emerging frame of reference, grounded in contemporary neuroscience evidence with supporting theories from OT-Ayres Sensory Integration and vestibular rehabilitation. Through its application, children with vestibular under- registration will experience adequate vestibular activation to generate myelination and develop…

This non-experimental, correlational, quantitative study sought to identify possible relationships between educators' beliefs in neuromyths - misconceptions or misunderstandings about how people learn - and the frequency in which instructional practices are used in the classroom. The prevalence and pervasiveness of neuromyth beliefs are well…

The purpose of this quantitative, correlational-predictive study was to understand if and to what extent the demographic variables Age, Gender, and Years of Experience individually or combined predict Belief in Neurological Myths among higher education faculty in the United States. The approach utilized is grounded in the ongoing study of belief…

The human brain is a flexible information processing system. Across a range of simple and complex tasks, such as walking across the street to playing basketball, the brain transforms sensory information from the environment into corresponding motor actions. This sensory input to motor output transformation likely requires a sequence of complex…

This study reports the findings of a mixed-methods investigation into learning and cognition that has been theoretically and methodologically positioned as embodied. Embodied learning places pedagogical value on the biophysiologically dependent nature of learning on the development of the central nervous system. Rooted in empirical evidence of…

Educational neuroscience bridges research in neuroscience and in educational theories and practices (Amran et al., 2019). The science behind how the brain learns informs educational approaches that can be applied in the classroom (Howard-Jones, 2014). Prior research has focused on teachers' knowledge and applications of educational neuroscience,…

The purpose of this qualitative exploratory case study was to explore how administrator and teacher perceptions affect their application of brain-based learning (BBL) professional development (PD) in schools, specifically an Atlanta suburb middle school. The research was framed around social cognitive theory (SCT), the premise that a person's…

The ability for students to understand numbers and other mathematical symbols is a crucial part of success in mathematics. Accordingly, it is important for researchers to understand the nature of symbolic number processing -- the connections between a symbol or collection of symbols that convey numerical information (e.g., Arabic digits,…
