Executive Functions and Conceptual Change in Science and Mathematics Learning
We investigate the hypothesis that Executive Functions (EFs) are implicated in the learning of science and mathematics by examining the relation between performance in two Science and Mathematics Conceptual Understanding and Conceptual Change (CU&C) tasks, and two Stroop-like Inhibition and Shifting EF tasks, in a group of 69 4 th and 6 th grader children. The results showed high correlations b...
متن کاملExecutive Functions Predict the Success of Top-Soccer Players
While the importance of physical abilities and motor coordination is non-contested in sport, more focus has recently been turned toward cognitive processes important for different sports. However, this line of studies has often investigated sport-specific cognitive traits, while few studies have focused on general cognitive traits. We explored if measures of general executive functions can pred...
متن کاملFacilitating Executive Learning: Development and Application of a Conceptual Model
We developed our required ten-week Executive MBA Leading Organizational Change course to specifically maximize meaningful learning according to the stipulations of Ausubel’s (1968) cognitive assimilation theory. The centerpiece of our work is the implementation of an eight-step explicit conceptually transparent learning model whose components are internally consistent and require the assimilati...
متن کاملThe Relationship Between Executive Functions and Science Achievement
Executive function is a fundamental component of the human cognitive architecture. Here, we investigate the relationship between executive function and scientific reasoning. Eighth graders completed measures of three executive functions (EFs): shifting, inhibiting, and updating. They also completed a measure of cognitive flexibility, the Wisconsin Card Sort Task (WCST), that has predicted scien...
متن کاملMolecular and Functional Imaging of Executive Functions and Implicit Learning
Age-related deficits are legion in task switching, updating of information in working memory (WM) and inhibiting irrelevant information, collectively referred to as executive functions. Executive functions are tightly coupled to the dopaminergic system, and marked dopamine (DA) losses are observed across adulthood and aging. Several human molecular imaging studies have sought confirmation for t...
