Description

In this lesson you will learn about the role that cognitive modifiability as a general phenomena, and the structure and mediation occurring in FIE, contributes to the promotion of neural plasticity. You will understand the revolution in the neurosciences that is underway, and the educational potential that has been uncovered. The nature of neural plasticity is reviewed, presenting the relevant terminology to describe changes in the brain and genetic components as a consequence of cognitive modifiability. The newly accumulating evidence from the neurosciences is reviewed, and the critical elements of cognitive interventions that have been identified are presented and described. The ways in which activities and the structure of the FIE programs contribute to neural plasticity are discussed and illustrated.
