Talk:Neuroeducation

Recent Studies

I would recommend adding some information about current studies that are being done in relation to neuroeducation. The neuroscience of reading is becoming a popular topic within the field of neuroeducation, maybe consider looking at that and adding some information about it.

Perhaps consider adding information on the nature of the therapeutic interventions yielded from neuroeducation? Like speech therapy for dyslexics, with the goal of activating similar language areas in the therapy group as in the non-dyslexics. Tchar (talk) 09:43, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

All of these sources look good. My only worry is that they will be very broad or perhaps focus on different areas. Be sure to narrow down what topics you want to add to the article. Wadewitz (talk) 22:15, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Thank you this is helpful! I know this is very broad, but the original page has so little on it. I was hoping to define the different constructs involved in learning, and then go in more details with the significance of different learning disorders in education.Sparkletts514 (talk) 06:48, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Outline for modifications

I am planning to add the following sections to the article:

Neurodevelopmental constructs involved in learning:

This section will include a list and description of all eight neurodevelopmental constructs defined in Levine's "Developmental Variation and Learning Disorders" (See 'Sources' section above) involved in learning. The assessment of strength and weaknesses in those construct help determine the best way to help a child achieve academic success.

• Attention
• Memory
• Neuromotor functions
• Social cognition
• Higher-order cognition
• Spatial ordering
• Temporal-sequential ordering
• Language

Recipe to academic success

This section will include a description of all elements required in order for a child to be successful in school. This includes tactics and strategies, knowledge, subskills and skills, and factual learning.

Skills include:

• Reading
• Writing
• Spelling
• Mathematics

Learning Disorders - What they are

In this section I was thinking of giving a brief overview of the learning disabilities found in children with dyslexia and dyscalculia, and relating those disabilities with Levine's developmental constructs.

Assessments

A list of assessments currently used to measure a child's learning abilities.

• VMI (Visual Motor Integration)
• ANSER

Approaches to manage learning disorders

The current approaches used to help children with learning disorders succeed in school.

I'm looking forward to reading all this! When it comes to assessment, as a psychologist I would start with WISC-IV to see if the learning disability is caused by a low intelligence or by a more specific learning disability - and WISC-IV would also give me hypotheses about what other tests to do to find out more.

This outline looks great! Wadewitz (talk) 20:46, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

This looks like a great set of changes. If you could add/modify each section at a separate time, that would make it easier for others to process your changes. Clevwiki (talk) 23:09, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
