Read the following case study and then discuss how a knowledge of cognitive neuroscience would help you as a professional in this situation.
During a parent teacher conference, you are sitting with Justin's parents. Justin has been in your class all year and has been struggling in math. His parents, concerned with his low math performance, took him to an outside company that had him perform assessment tasks while wearing a neuro-imaging headset. A computer then statistically analyzed the results and auto-generated a parent-teacher report. The report shows a weakness in the circuit of the brain responsible for short-term memory. His parents are asking how this can be applied in the classroom to benefit Justin and help him improve his math scores. |
