In 1999, Anne Rosenfeld and Kelly Williams created Learning & the Brain as a conference series aimed at helping educators learn about new cognitive and neuroscience research and apply this research in their classrooms. Since 2009, Learning & the Brain has also published a regular blog. Authored by a variety of researchers, experienced educators, and doctoral students, the L&B Blog provides summaries of recent neuroscience research and book reviews. The blog also features discussions about how research can provide insight into common instructional issues, including how to best manage technology in the classroom and how to address student procrastination. Although the blog is designed for educators, others - especially parents and other caretakers of children - may find topics of interest here. Recent posts include the role and limitations of writing in overcoming trauma, how mathematics can be introduced to infants, and advice on giving yourself more effective pep-talks.
