"The psychological study of misconceptions shows that all of us possess many beliefs that are flawed or flat-out wrong-and also that we cling to these fallacies with remarkable tenacity. "

"The outcome, as it's usually represented, is that the children who were able to wait for an extra treat scored better on measures of cognitive and social skills many years later and had higher SAT scores. Thus, if we teach kids to put off the payoff as long as possible, they'll be more successful. But that simplistic conclusion misrepresents, in several ways, what the research actually found. "

This will be a great resource!

"Bandura's social learning theory stresses the importance of observational learning, imitation and modeling. His theory integrates a continuous interaction between behaviors, personal factors - including cognition - and the environment referred to as reciprocal causation model. "

Operant conditioning (sometimes referred to as instrumental conditioning ) is a method of learning that occurs through rewards and punishments for behavior. Through operant conditioning, an association is made between a behavior and a consequence for that behavior.

Practicing growth mindset will help students become a well-rounded person in their adult life. It will give them confidence to try new things without fear.

"In this funny, enlightening talk, educational psychologist Peter Doolittle details the importance - and limitations - of your "working memory," that part of the brain that allows us to make sense of what's happening right now. "

"Doing more than one task at a time, especially more than one complex task, takes a toll on productivity. Although that shouldn't surprise anyone who has talked on the phone while checking E-mail or talked on a cell phone while driving, the extent of the problem might come as a shock. Psychologists who study what happens to cognition (mental processes) when people try to perform more than one task at a time have found that the mind and brain were not designed for heavy-duty multitasking. "

"A new study says so-called "heavy multitaskers" have trouble tuning out distractions and switching tasks compared with those who multitask less. And there's evidence that multitasking may weaken cognitive ability. Stanford University professor Clifford Nass explains the work."

" "The hope is that understanding each child's neurocognitive profiles will help educators provide targeted and personalized education and intervention, particularly in those with special needs.""

"this detailed analysis and chart of every single learning theory is worth zooming in and studying."
