WELCOME TO THE WINTER 2015LEAR NING & the BR AIN CONFERENCEFortieth in a series of conferences exploring the potential for applying brain research to the improvement of memory and learning.Neuroscientists are discovering strategies that make content easier to learn, knowledgeeasier to remember and studying easier to accomplish through the “science of learning.”This conference will provide you with strategies for using mnemonics, meta-memory,metacognition, movement, active learning, gestures and retrieval practices to improve memory,thinking and learning.The LEARNING & the BRAIN Conference creates an interdisciplinary forum — a meetingplace for researchers, clinicians and educators — to examine this new research for the classroomand clinical practice.We hope you will walk away with new and useful information.LEARNING & the BRAIN CO-SPONSORS WELCOME YOUGraduate School of Education, Stanford UniversityDana Alliance for Brain Initiatives, The Dana FoundationLab. of Educational NeuroScience, University of California, San FranciscoBuilding Blocks of Cognition Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley Welcome from LEARNING & the BRAIN Gazzaley Cognitive Neuroscience Lab, University of California, San Francisco6The Neuroscience Research Institute, University of California, Santa BarbaraMind, Brain & Education Program, Harvard Graduate School of EducationComer School Development Program, Yale University School of MedicineNational Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP)National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP)Edutopia, The George Lucas Educational FoundationThe John F.

Welcome letter from the Laboratoryof Educational NeuroScience, UCSFThe University of California, San Francisco’s Laboratory for Educational Neuroscience(UCSF brainLENS) is pleased to welcome you to the LEARNING & the BRAIN Conference, Making Lasting Memories. We are delighted, once again, to co-sponsorsuch a dynamic gathering of the field’s top thinkers.The 21st Century has brought with it nearly boundless opportunities, particularly in technology, but with theworld at our children’s fingertips, comes countless choices, distractions and noise. The topic Making LastingMemories could come at no better time. The conference promises to equip top educators with the tools necessaryto make lasting impressions in our noisy world.At brainLENS, too, we aim to foster innovation in research and training by inculcating an integration of differentdisciplines that will provide us with theoretical frameworks and research methodologies, which we can apply toeducation. We are committed to cutting-edge research to maximize all children’s potential, and in particular thosewith special needs. For example, we are currently investigating the impact that negative social cues may have onindividuals with learning disabilities. For those who struggle to learn, it is imperative that we understand attentionand memory in order to develop strategies to stave off distracters, sustain interest in academic tasks and createpositive emotional academic environments.This conference, Making Lasting Memories, aspires to stimulate us to integrate research findings and motivatenew collaborations and ideas for future research on how to improve learning and make it stick!Welcome and enjoy!Sincerely,Fumiko Hoeft, MD, PhDAssociate Professor and Director, UCSF brainLENS Welcome from the Laboratory of Educational NeuroScience, UCSFEducational neuroscience is a burgeoning field at the crossroads of biology, cognitive and developmental scienceand education that investigates the neuroscientific bases of learning and related processes. The Mind, Brainand Education field provides tremendous opportunities to illuminate processes of curiosity, emotional memory,metacognition, problem solving and so much more to better understand strategies to making lasting impressions.Innovative research is being conducted world-wide to harness technology, traditionally thought as distracting,such as video games, to potentially ‘train the brain’ and enhance cognitive abilities. There is a push to integratemovement and gestures to boost recall and creativity. Transforming the traditional connection of emotion andmemory combined with the initiative to foster healthy social and emotional learning pushes for education of thewhole child. With the combination of cognitive science and neuroscience practices and educational theories, wepush further into the blossoming intersection of neuroeducation. We hope you are as excited about this as we are!7

And not just memory; we would like to boost manybrain functions. Increasingly it seems that brain science will deliver on this potential.But like any gift that seems too good, we have to look carefully at what lies inside the Trojan horse; what is writtenin the fine print of a Faustian agreement. From a medical perspective, boosting any facet of our biology is calledenhancement. This term is used to distinguish the concept of improving normal abilities from treating a disease,which is called therapy.
