Learning And Memory: From Brain to Behavior

Check out this book below:

Learning and Memory: From Brain to Behavior / Edition 2 

Mark A. Gluck, Eduardo Mercado and Catherine E. Myers

 

"Gluck, Mercado and Myers’s Learning and Memory is the first textbook developed from its inception to reflect the convergence of brain studies and behavioral approaches in modern learning and memory research incorporating findings both in animals and humans. Each chapter integrates coverage of both human memory and animal learning, with separate sections specifically devoted to behavioral processes, brain systems, and clinical perspectives", writes Barnes & Noble

The real-life examples will be helpful for students.

 Pub. Date: January 2013

About  the Authors
Mark A. Gluck is a Professor of Neuroscience at Rutgers University–Newark, co-director of the Memory Disorders Project at Rutgers–Newark, and publisher of the project’s public health newsletter, Memory Loss and the Brain. His research focuses on the neural bases of learning and memory, and the consequences of memory loss due to aging, trauma, and disease. He is co-author of Gateway to Memory: An Introduction to Neural Network Modeling of the Hippocampus and Learning (MIT Press, 2001). In 1996, he was awarded an NSF Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers by President Bill Clinton. That same year, he received the American Psychological Association (APA) Distinguish Scientific Award for Early Career Contribution to Psychology. 

Eduardo Mercado is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at University at Buffalo, The State University of New York. His research focuses on how different brain systems interact to develop representations of experienced events, and how these representations change over time. Dr. Mercado currently uses techniques from experimental psychology, computational neuroscience, electrical engineering, and behavioral neuroscience to explore questions about auditory learning and memory in rodents, cetaceans, and humans. 

Catherine E. Myers is a Research Professor of Psychology at Rutgers University–Newark, co-director of the Memory Disorders Project at Rutgers–Newark, and Editor-in-Chief of the project’s public health newsletter, Memory Loss and the Brain. Her research includes both computational neuroscience and experimental psychology, and focuses on human memory, specifically on memory impairments following damage to the hippocampus and associated brain structures. She is co-author of Gateway to Memory: An Introduction to Neural Network Modeling of the Hippocampus and Learning (MIT Press, 2001) and author of Delay Learning in Artificial Neural Networks (Chapman and Hall, 1992).

Design of a blended learning environment: Considerations and implementation issues
By Nuray Gedik, Ercan Kiraz and M. Yasar Ozden

Abstract  
This study identified critical issues in the design of a blended learning environment by examining basic design considerations and implementation issues. Following a design-based research approach with the phenomenological tradition of qualitative research, the study investigated instructor experiences relating to the design, development, and implementation processes of a blended course. 
The results reveal that the design considerations centred on the pedagogical approach, course organization, materials preparation, interactions, and the instructor's and students' roles. The affordances of the implementation included the arousal of the students' interest and participation, flexibility, time conservation, the ability to track student progress, and the improvement of interaction, collaboration, and communication opportunities. The challenges were increased workload, course and time management, overlaps, and the creation of harmony between the face-to-face and online environments. 
The overall results show that the critical issues involved context, the pedagogical framework, instructor competency, and technical issues in the blended course design.

Schools going mobile: A study of the adoption of mobile handheld technologies in Western Australian independent schools 
By Mark Pegrum, Grace Oakley and Robert Faulkner

Abstract

This paper reports on the adoption of mobile handheld technologies in ten Western Australian independent schools, based on interviews with staff conducted in 2011. iPads were the most popular device, followed by iPod Touches and iPhones. 
Class sets were common at lower levels, with 1:1 models becoming increasingly common at higher levels. Mobile learning, or m-learning, was still at an experimental stage in most schools, but common themes were already emerging around the need to integrate mobile devices into a broader learning ecology. Key discussions focused on their role in promoting consumption or production, collaboration or personalisation, and creating seamless learning spaces. Used for both organisational and pedagogical purposes, mobile devices were seen as enhancing student motivation, with empirical evidence of improved student learning also emerging in small-scale studies conducted by two schools. Challenges included the need to carefully manage the technology, ethical issues in its use, and staff roles in its deployment. 
Pedagogically grounded and adequately contextualised professional development (PD) was seen as vital for time-poor staff, while a desire to set up a professional community of practice was widely expressed. All the schools surveyed planned to extend their use of mobile handheld technologies in the future.

Face-to-Face Tutorials in ODE and Student SatisfactionBy HERMAN

herman@ut.ac.id

Abstract
This article discusses relationship between five sub-variables (tutorial preparation, masteryof subject, teaching ability, communication ability, and tutor’s discipline) in tutor performancevariable, tutorial result variable, tutorial cost variable and students’ satisfaction variable in face-to-face tutorial at Universitas Terbuka, Indonesia.  
Totally, there are seven independent variables and one dependent variable. Three sub-variables (mastery of subject. teaching ability, communication ability) in tutor performance are interacted. 200 respondents as a sample werecollected by purposive sampling. To analyze the data, factorial analysis, correlation, andregression were used. The result showed that there are significant and positive correlationbetween sub-variables in tutor’s performance (tutorial preparation, mastery of subject, teachingability, communication ability, and tutor’s discipline), tutorial result, tutorial cost and customer satisfaction.
In addition coefficients regression between some sub-variables and their interaction in tutor performance, tutorial result, and student’s satisfaction are also significant.

The Leadership Role for Turkey in Regional Distance Education

Anadolu University, Turkey
udemiray@anadolu.edu.tr


Abstract

This Paper reportsthe distance education practices in Turkey, and then examinesand discusses the role of leadership which should be undertaken by Turkey in the regions of Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, Baltic, Turkic, Caucasian, theMiddle East and northern Africa. International distance education organizations in the world are not well organized and functional in this area, nor arethe regional distance education institutions in the name ofeducational institutionalism. To fill this gap, it is argued here that Turkey take a leadership role in the distance education field in this region and there by organize the practices of the regional countries for their mutual co-prosperity and benefits.

The structure of the potential distance education organization and the regulations of the organization is discussed in more detail based on this argument and available freely online at http://www.midasebook.com.  

The suggestedname for this regional group is ICDEEEWA (International Council for Distance Education forEastern Europe and West Asia). 
A draft of the constitution of the recommended association is presented and discussed at http://www.midasebook.com.

New: 10 of the best Apple and Android apps for education in 2013

Laura Devaney

Laura Devaney, Managing Editor writes, "Today, we feature an updated "best apps" story for 2013. Our list includes apps we thought students and teachers might find useful".

Last year we presented “New: 10 of the best Apple apps for education in 2012,” which highlighted some of the best apps for iPhones and iPods. However, with new upgrades in touch technology, and the emphasis on Common Core State Standards and school reform in general, we’ve come up with a new list of the best Apple- and Android-based education apps for 2013.
