Cautious, conservative skeptics will, by nature, be hesitant to embrace new things. Overzealous or impulsive risk-takers will, by nature, try almost anything, founded or not. Our position is neutrality. A better informed educator usually makes better decisions. We collect the research, form conclusions and make suggestions.
Every effort is made to select from reliable sources with supporting data.
If the studies are conflicting, we ll either say so or not present it to you. You ll need to be the ultimate judge as to whether and how the research fits in your particular learning climate. One must be cautious and prudent in how research is interpreted and ultimately used. Our policy is to look for both the basic neuroscience research and match it with data from applied psychology or cognitive science. When there are multiple studies, with good samples and clear evidence, you ll hear about it.
