Limits of new psychology
You make a great mistake if you think thatpsychology, being the science of minds laws, issomething from which you can deduce definite
programmes and schemes and methods ofinstruction for immediate school room use.
Psychology is a science, and teaching is an art.
William James, Talks to Teachers, 1899

Creating a new learning science
More relevant and useful professional and
classroom applications of educational
neuroscience will become available as we
gradually come to understand more about brainfunction through research which answers
educational questions about learning, memory,
motivation, and so on.

TLRP Discussion highlights
You cant hold back the future
Smart drugs enhance cognition to levels
compatible with advances in IT and AI ?
Digital kids are their brains fundamentally
different from ours ?
Neuroimaging-genetic profiling a two-edgedsword ?
What are the social costs of stupidity and
ignorance ?

Translation between the two languages, one
lexicon of education and neuroscience
teachers dont need to be experts in science, but
neither should they be inadvertently misled
