A new study by neuroscientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology sheds light on how the brain creates internal ...

Both humans and other animals are good at learning by inference, using information we do have to figure out things we cannot observe directly. New research from the Center for Mind and Brain at the ...

In school, I recall creating numerous spider diagrams during lessons. You’d put your subject in the middle and branch out with related concepts. But I rarely returned to these diagrams, and when I did ...

Neuroplasticity and sleep hygiene enhance learning, memory, and habit formation by refining cognitive maps and strengthening neural connections.

Researchers have systematically detailed, step by step, how cognitive maps form in the brain's hippocampus -- a region responsible for learning and memory.

The researchers tracked the activity of thousands of neurons over days and weeks as the animal learned, allowing the team to systematically detail how cognitive maps form in the brain's hippocampus.

A new study in mice by MIT neuroscientists at The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory provides new evidence for how the brain forms cohesive cognitive maps of whole spaces and highlights the ...

Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (CTML) Multimedia learning describes learning through the use of pictures and words. Examples of multimedia learning include watching a PowerPoint presentation, ...
