Research from the University of South Australia and partners indicates that increasing student engagement in complex learning tasks can significantly improve their critical thinking and…
A recent MIT study on mouse behavior in reward-based tasks showed that mice, while capable of learning the best strategy, often deviate from it, suggesting…
Recent research led by Julia Notar at Duke University reveals that brittle stars, despite lacking brains, can learn through experience. These marine creatures, related to…
New research has revealed that memory formation in the brain is likely due to the formation of new connections between engram cells, emphasizing the importance…
Jellyfish, despite lacking centralized brains, exhibit advanced learning abilities similar to humans and other complex organisms, challenging traditional beliefs about neural learning processes. Jellyfish Learning…
Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have discovered that Caribbean box jellyfish, previously believed to be simple creatures, possess advanced learning abilities despite their basic…
The researchers conducted experiments on C. elegans, a roundworm with just 300 neurons, that offers a simple laboratory model for studying how an animal learns.…
Teenagers struggling to read can face a number of challenges, including difficulties with decoding, comprehension, and motivation. These struggles can impact their academic performance and…
Learner-centered teaching methods focus on the needs and abilities of individual students, rather than following a predetermined curriculum. These methods often involve active participation from…
Researchers at Scripps Research have created a novel instrument to monitor brain plasticity. Researchers at Scripps Research examined how the levels of various proteins in…
The study found that brain changes were far superior predictors of learning. Brain scans predict students’ learning better than exam results and show the underlying structure of…

Harvard Researchers Discover That Experts Don’t Necessarily Give Better Advice – They Just Give More
The researchers suggest that you might want to think less about the quantity of the advice, and more about how you can actually apply it.…
When a person tries to access a memory, their brain quickly sifts through everything stored in it to find the relevant information. But as we…

The ability allows the brain to balance sleep with responding to environmental cues. A good night’s sleep is not as simple as it appears. While…
An Italian-Swiss team demonstrates children reading skills can be improved through a novel child-friendly action video game. Decoding letters into sound is a key point…
We create countless memories as we live our lives but many of these we forget. Why? Counter to the general assumption that memories simply decay…
Researchers find out how exercise improves learning. University of Queensland researchers have discovered an exercise ‘sweet spot’ that reverses the cognitive decline in aging mice,…
