Nothing wrong with that, but some of the collected, refined wisdom has led to some bad teaching, too. Here s a list highlighting a few specific areas of research that have important implications for learning, memory, schools and trainings. Critics who worry over where the research comes from are missing the point. When you synthesize it with other fields like sociology, chemistry, anthropology, future studies, anthropology, therapy and others, you can get some powerful applications. The brain is what you have, the mind is using it.
Different fields do research at different levels.
Basic neuroscience research is usually done at the molecular, genetic or cellular level. At this level, we hear of neurogenesis and the growth of stem cells. That s contrasted with applied cognitive sciences which may feature animal studies or clinical studies that show the real world behaviors we are equally interested in. The point is, we now know enough about the brain to justify specific strategies, that only a few years ago, were just good ideas without scientific basis. Here s an example.
