One well publicized critic said it will be at least 25 years before any applications of brain research can be used in a classroom. Yet there are many clear cases of practical applications. In fact, one new software program, FastForWord, was developed by neuroscientists specifically for the classroom to improve reading skills. This program was based on studies demonstrating neural plasticity in the sensory cortex, first with monkeys, then with humans. With specific training, researchers discovered the brain can rewire itself enough to improve how students hear and represent sounds in a more meaningful way.
Studies demonstrate improvement in many readers.
