GUEST POST: The Emerging Consensus — The Learning Scientists
GUEST POST: The Emerging Consensus — The Learning Scientists
This is an interesting summary of research, compiling conclusions from multiple types of research. While I'm skeptical of most claims about neuroscience research directly informing learning design, this tries to avoid that. Neuroscience research is used to explain results from cognitive psychology research. They also try to connect cognitive research on the other side with classroom experience.

GUEST POST: The Emerging Consensus — The Learning Scientists
What Do You Know: About Brain Science and Adult Learning
What Do You Know: About Brain Science and Adult Learning
When people claim they are designing learning based on "neuroscience" or "brain science," be skeptical. Sometimes it's real cognitive psychology research mislabeled as neuroscience. Sometimes it's fake research.
Cognitive science has to do with the mind and mental processes, such as thinking, learning, and problem solving at the human (or other organism) level.<em> </em>Neuroscience has to do with the biology of the nervous system, including how the brain works, at the anatomical level such as neurons.
Bottom line: When you hear claims about <em>neuro</em> or <em>brain</em> related to training, you should ask: Is it cognitive science or is it made up?

YouTube - Learning Styles Don't Exist
A cognitive psychologist argues that learning styles, as the theory is generally understood, don't exist and aren't supported by research. He acknowledges that there are differences in visual and auditory memory, but says the research doesn't show that differentiating instruction based on learning styles actually has any effect.
