This is an excellent presentation
The mission of the newly formed Science
of Learning Institute is to understand the most essential part of our
human capital: the ability to learn. The Institute supports research and
application that seeks to understand learning at all levels of
scientific inquiry—including how the brain changes through learning, how
development and aging affects our ability to learn, how neurological
and psychiatric diseases disrupt or change learning, and why there are
such vast individual differences that naturally occur among learners. A
central part of the mission is to understand how new technologies such
as machine learning and new educational programs can optimize
learning—whether it occurs in the informal setting of the playground,
the more formal setting of a school, a rehabilitation program, or
on-the-job training.
