    • During its extended developmental course, metacognition becomes more explicit, powerful, and effective, as it comes to operate increasingly under the individual's conscious control.
  • ScienceDirect - Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology : Science Education as Conceptual Change

    • Despite this massive effort, math and science instruction in this country is now in a crisis. Many of the reasons for this have nothing to do with shortcomings of the materials developed under the 1960s initiative, but there was one crucial shortcoming, with vast implications for the art and practice of educating our youngsters. Simply put, in the 1960s, educators and psychologists misanalyzed the very problem math and science education must solve.
    • conceptual change is extremely difficult to achieve, for reasons that have been understood at least since the early writings of Kuhn (1962) and Feyerabend (1962).

    • This mysticism is largely unfounded, and the freedom of feeling is an illusion. For one thing, the notion of freedom of feeling runs counter to the traditional wisdom that human beings are enslaved by their passions. For another, the laws of emotion may help us to discern that simple, universal, moving forces operate behind the complex, idiosyncratic movements of feeling,

  • ScienceDirect - Cognition : Seeing is believing: The effect of brain images on judgments of scientific reasoning

    • These data lend support to the notion that part of the fascination, and the credibility, of brain imaging research lies in the persuasive power of the actual brain images themselves.
    • In the first experiment participants read fictional articles summarizing cognitive neuroscience research, modeled after news service articles, that either included no image, a brain image, or a bar graph depicting the critical results

  • Cognitive Recovery in Socially Deprived Young Children: The Bucharest Early Intervention Project -- Nelson et al. 318 (5858): 1937 -- Science

    • The cognitive outcome of children who remained in the institution was markedly below that of never-institutionalized children and children taken out of the institution and placed into foster care.
    • Evidence suggests that children reared in institutions suffer from a variety of neurobiological and behavioral sequelae compared to never-institutionalized children.

    • One window through which to investigate the developmental principles governing the brain–experience relationship and the organizing role of emotion is through case studies of atypical but highly functioning children.
    • This design was chosen for three main reasons: First, prosodic and emotional skills are thought to involve particular roles for each brain hemisphere, so studying these skills enabled rigorous assessments of how the boys had learned what they should not have been able to learn by traditional accounts.
