Brainless brittle stars are capable of learning through experience, as demonstrated in new research. They exhibit classical conditioning by associating darkness with feeding, a significant…
Babies don’t begin to process phonetic information reliably until seven months old – which researchers say is too late to form the foundation of language….
What mechanism allows our brains to incorporate new information and form memories? Research led by Dr. Tomás Ryan from Trinity College Dublin reveals that learning…
A study from LMU indicates that infants learn to mimic others as they are themselves mirrored by their caregivers. Unconsciously, individuals consistently learn from others,…
Jellyfish Learning Abilities: Challenging Neuroscientific Notions Even without a central brain, jellyfish can learn from past experiences like humans, mice, and flies, scientists report for…
Jellyfish are more advanced than once thought. A new study from the University of Copenhagen has demonstrated that Caribbean box jellyfish can learn at a…
The findings could explain how memories form throughout the day. Scientists have long believed that rewards such as food or money stimulate learning by triggering…
Electrical noise stimulation targeted at a specific brain area can enhance math learning in individuals who find the subject challenging, reveals a recent study conducted…
According to a recent doctoral thesis recently presented at Linköping University, Sweden, people with dementia still have the ability to learn new things despite their…
The act of pretending to be an art thief supercharges people’s memory of paintings, thanks to their heightened curiosity. Adopting a curious mindset over a…
According to researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, the rates of school discipline vary greatly and follow a predictable pattern throughout the school year,…
New research from the University of East Anglia reveals that individuals with low literacy skills are more likely to experience mental health problems worldwide. The…
A multi-dimensional model to explain the learning process of an animal over time. Physicists have developed a dynamic model of animal behavior that could shed…
Children learn to read faster when they are given appropriate challenges. Reading is the foundation for many subjects, yet a significant number of children face…
First study to show that delivering information at the natural tempo of our neural pulses accelerates our ability to learn. Participants who received a simple…
Study at the University of Bonn elucidates previously unknown mechanism for spatial learning. There are two fundamentally different cell types in the brain, neurons, and…
A new study indicates that there is a lack of concrete evidence supporting the effectiveness of learner-centered teaching methods. These methods, which are often promoted…
