The wide-scale global movement of school education to remote instruction due to Covid-19 is unprecedented. The use of educational technology (EdTech) offers an alternative to in-person learning and reinforces social distancing, but there is...
Non-invasive peripheral nerve stimulation selectively enhances speech category learning in adults [0.03%]
非侵入性外周神经刺激可选择性地提高成年人对语音类别学习的能力

The basolateral amygdala (BLA) is a temporal lobe structure that contributes to a host of behaviors. In particular, it is a central player in learning about aversive events and thus assigning emotional valence to sensory events. It is a cor...

Performance in everyday spatial orientation tasks (e.g., map reading and navigation) has been considered functionally separate from performance on more abstract object-based spatial abilities (e.g., mental rotation and visualization). Howev...

For centuries, adults may have relied on pedagogies that promote rote memory for the learning of foreign languages through word associations and grammar rules. This contrasts sharply with child language learning which unfolds in socially in...
Mechanisms of offline motor learning at a microscale of seconds in large-scale crowdsourced data [0.03%]
基于大规模 crowdsourced 数据的离线运动学习秒级微观机制研究

Performance improvements during early human motor skill learning are suggested to be driven by short periods of rest during practice, at the scale of seconds. To reveal the unknown mechanisms behind these "micro-offline" gains, we leveraged...
