A School-Based Electroencephalography (EEG)/Event-Related Potential (ERP) Study into Children's Moral and Empathic Development: Principles of Design and Praxis. Sage Research Methods: Data and Research Literacy
Direct linkDirect link
Minkang Kim; Soohyun Baek; Jean Decety; Derek Sankey – Sage Research Methods Cases, 2025
Within educational research, there is a growing interest in using neuroscience methods such as electroencephalography (EEG) and event-related potentials (ERPs) to probe neural mechanisms underlying students' learning and development, in natural, school-based settings. The results of these studies are beginning to appear in educational,…

Jason D. Yeatman; Maya Yablonski – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2025
Educational neuroscience was born out of the promise that brain imaging would generate discoveries that change how we educate our children. Many neuroscientists and educators alike feel that this promise has not been fulfilled and have begun to question the utility of this nascent field that is arising at the intersection of two well-established…

Effects of Prior Knowledge on Memory: Implications for Education
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Shing, Yee Lee; Brod, Garvin – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2016
The encoding, consolidation, and retrieval of events and facts form the basis for acquiring new skills and knowledge. Prior knowledge can enhance those memory processes considerably and thus foster knowledge acquisition. But prior knowledge can also hinder knowledge acquisition, in particular when the to-be-learned information is inconsistent with…

Dennis, Tracy A.; Buss, Kristin A.; Hastings, Paul D.; Bell, Martha Ann; Diaz, Anjolii; Adam, Emma K.; Miskovic, Vladimir; Schmidt, Louis A.; Feldman, Ruth; Katz, Lynn Fainsilber; Rigterink, Tami; Strang, Nicole M.; Hanson, Jamie L.; Pollak, Seth D.; Dahl, Ronald E.; Silk, Jennifer S.; Siegle, Greg J.; Beauchaine, Theodore P.; Cicchetti, Dante; Rogosch, Fred A.; Fox, Nathan A.; Kirwan, Michael; Reeb-Sutherland, Bethany; Gunnar, Megan R.; Obradovic, Jelena; Boyce, W. Thomas; Molenaar, Peter C. M.; Gates, Kathleen M. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2012
In the past decade, there has been a dramatic growth in research examining the development of emotion from a physiological perspective. However, this widespread use of physiological measures to study emotional development coexists with relatively few guiding principles, thus reducing opportunities to move the field forward in innovative ways. The…

The Journey from Child to Scientist: Integrating Cognitive Development and the Education Sciences
Direct linkDirect link
Carver, Sharon M., Ed.; Shrager, Jeff, Ed. – APA Books, 2012
The impulse to investigate the natural world is deeply rooted in our earliest childhood experiences. This notion has long guided researchers to uncover the cognitive mechanisms underlying the development of scientific reasoning in children. Until recently, however, research in cognitive development and education followed largely independent…

Moral Cognition, Emotions, and Neuroscience: An Integrative Developmental View
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Smetana, Judith G.; Killen, Melanie – European Journal of Developmental Science, 2008
Longstanding debates about whether morality is best defined in terms of emotions or judgments have been recently rekindled. In this essay, we review recent approaches from social psychology and moral neuroscience that have emphasized emotions and intuitions as central to morality. We assert that the results of developmental science research on…
