Training
Arithmetic Fluency.
In many domains of learning, there is a debate regarding whether
learning should involve meaning or fluency. We explore
an integration account based on cognitive neuroscience
findings regarding areas of activity in mathematical tasks
as well as recent results from the cognitive neuroscience
of language learning. We are developing training regimes
that should optimize learning, and will be using cognitive
neuroscience techniques to verify the underlying causal
hypotheses.

Biologically
Accelerated Learning Technology.
Our goal was to find biological markers of cognitive processes
that are known to accelerate learning (e.g., self-explanation
or other meaning-based processing methods), and
then provide real-time feedback to learners (a new generation
of tutoring system) about whether they are consistently
using the most effective cognitive processes for learning. Prior talk
