Social and emotional changes in brain and behavior across development: implications for education
Social and emotional changes in brain and behavior across development: implications for education
When: Tuesday, October 27, 10am– 11am EST
Zoom Link: https://nyu.zoom.us/j/91044407438
In this talk I will discuss how neuroscience research on the social and affective factors that shape learning and decision-making across development can inform education. I will present work on developmental changes in emotional reactivity and regulation at the neural and behavioral levels. Additionally, I will show how social forces such as social norms approaches can shape emotions in individuals and how to leverage such approaches to improve teaching and learning. Finally, I will talk about my current work on how motivational factors such as reward processing and one’s inclination to explore change across development as well as potential applications of this work for educational settings.
