    Educational neuroscience was the research area driven not only by the theory on embodied cognition in cognitive science, but also by the integrated approach on human cognition in educational context. Given that effective interactions between cognitive neuroscience and education, educational neuroscience is aimed at improving education theory and practice scientifically at the various analysis level via multiple techniques including brain imaging, by the cooperative effects of educationlist, psychologist, and neuroscientist. The research field is promising for learning and teaching even that there exists more argues currently.

    The Influence of Varying SOA on the Number Distance Effect under the Conditions of Endogenous and Exogenous Attention
    2010, 33(3): 521. 
    Abstract ( )   PDF (621KB) ( )  
     In present study, endogenous and exogenous experimental paradigms were used to investigate the number distance effect in attended or unattended conditions when SOAs were different. The stimuli were small numbers (1~4) and large numbers (6~9) in Arabic. Subjects’ task was to decide whether the presented number was larger or smaller than 5. The results showed that: (1) in the endogenous cue, with SOAs increasing, the distance effects of large and small numbers were gradually increased. When SOA was 900ms, the distance effect of large or small numbers was most significant. (2) in the exogenous cue, when SOA was 300ms, the distance effect of large or small numbers was most significant. But with the increasing of SOAs, the distance effect of large and small numbers were gradually decreased.
