Introduction
Learning is a complex process that simultaneously taps and relies on a wide variety of internal and external factors. Until recently, the examination of underlying factors of learning could only be measured through indirect indicators. However, rapid developments in neural and physiological imaging have afforded us opportunities for a science-based understanding human learning. Equipped with more targeted tools for examining learning at the biological level, new and uncharted territories in the application of neuroscience theories are now being explored from critical cognitive and affective lenses.
This course is part of:
- Graduate Certificate in Mind, Brain, and Education
