Advancing the Neuroscience of Learning

This talk will describe a strategy to describe a unified neurobiologically oriented theory of the neuroscience of learning. We use a practical heuristic called the Cycle of Pedagogy (COP) which notes the interaction of three systems: 1) the neurobiology of the brain, 2) the structure of knowledge domains, and 3) the practice of pedagogy. These systemic interactions can be formally captured using a dynamic modeling process that assigns mappings between brain/mind dimensions, knowledge manifolds, and practical educational challenges such as the transition from a naïve to an expert learner. The cycle of pedagogy provides a framework by which we may explore the influences and interactions between the many variables that influence the learning process, especially in the context of neurobiological function. Emphasis will be on exploring the role of internal model construction and the interaction of motivation in the learning cycle.
