The Importance of Neurolearning in Childhood
Neurolearning as a science is concerned with promoting education from the point of view of how the brain learns, recognizing in this organ-specific areas that can be stimulated. This implies knowing and reflecting about cognitive functions (memory, attention, language,
and perception), in order to devise learning strategies according to the specificities and educational difficulties of each student.

Neuroscience and Brain Child Development
The technological advances in neuroscience allowed the scientists to research and develop studies about the human brain, especially
in the first six years of child’s development. This period is a phase of greater plasticity, which is the ability that the brain has to change in
each new experience or learning, through the numerous connections made between the neurons.

Identifying Obsessive Compulsive Disorder at School
Neuroeducation-Based Strategies for Neurodivergent Students.
Neuroeducation implies understanding how the student's brain works and how the nervous system affects their learning. Neuroeducation is an interdisciplinary field that combines neuroscience, psychology and education.
By integrating scientific insights into educational practices, neuroeducation seeks to optimize the learning experience for all students, including those with neurodivergent traits.
When it comes to neurodivergent students who have neurological differences such as autism spectrum di...

Can Music Improve Learning? - Daniela Silva
Music makes great contributions to the child's cognitive development, which starts even in the womb. Before birth, the baby (in the twentieth week of gestation) can hear sounds such as heartbeat, breathing rhythm, mother's voice, and at the same time respond to these stimuli by moving or kicking. Thus, it can be said that babies are "born musical," as they have the auditory ability to discern different noises because of sound experiences coming from inside their mother's womb.According to the Br...

Seven Different Types of Intelligence and How to Encourage Them in Your Child - Low Entropy Foundation
Daniela Silva, Low Entropy Volunteer WriterHuman intelligence is a complex and multi-dimensional trait, and researchers have identified various types of intelligence. One of the most widely recognized models of multiple intelligences was proposed by psychologist Howard Gardner in 1983. Gardner’s theory suggests that there are several distinct types of intelligence, each with its own unique characteristics. Here are some of the key types of intelligence:By transferring the theory of multiple inte...

From the world of imagination: a day in the park with preschool students | NHEG
On a sunny morning a group of preschoolers went to the park with their teachers. Two students, Arthur and Peter, after playing a lot in the park with their toys, found a large cardboard box that was in the school’s recyclables. Arthur looked at Peter and with bright eyes of joy exclaimed:
“Peter, why don’t we take this box and build a spaceship so we can travel to space and visit different planets?”
Without hesitation, Peter ran enthusiastically toward the box and carried it in his arms gave it...

Memories of a childhood rich in stimulus and its importance for brain development | AFC
My education was rich in stimulus. From an early age, I was inserted into the great world of letters. I remember watching my father carefully consulting the dictionary while reading the newspaper. He looked at me and read the new word he had just learned in the dictionary. Even without understanding the meaning of every word, he regaled me with books, and I loved to flick through the pages, which were rich in colors and illustrations. My mother also had great motivation for reading. She told me...
Sensory & Motor Skills in Children with Developmental Disorders | NHEG
According to the DSM-V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) developmental disorders are developmental conditions that usually arise before the child enters school and are characterized by deficits that result in impairment in personal, social, academic or professional functioning.
Learning is a process that involves progressive changes in the individual’s behavior, as a result of their lifelong experiences, as well as their contact with the environment. To the extent that the...

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome in a Child's School Education | NHEG
Learning is a process that occurs continuously in people’s life in which the acquisition of new behaviors, skills and attitudes has the aim of adapting the human being to the environment. This process occurs in the nervous system and therefore takes into consideration the neurological integrity of the brain to occur in the best possible way. For this reason, the brain is the “organ of learning.”
During learning, the neuron undergoes modifications in its brain structure (neuroplasticity), thus ge...

Contributions of Neuro-linguistic Programming in School Education | NHEG
Neuro-linguistic Programming, had its origin in the 70s, with the studies of Richard Brandler, in mathematics and computer science, at the University of California in Santa Cruz. After some time, Richard decided to study psychology and observed that when a person thinks about a traumatic or difficult event, successive times in a positive way, the event stops being worrisome for the person. Therefore, Brandler found that the way you think about something, makes all the difference in how you are...
Modern Homeschooling: The Origin and Practice Around the World
Before exploding internationally as a home-grown learning approach, modern home schooling was an educational reform movement led by teacher and writer John Holt in the 1970s.
Holt sought change for schooling to be more humane and less formal, while rich in multiple learning spaces where children could develop in accordance with their curiosity and experiences.
From this set of ideas came the idea of spontaneous learning outside of the school environment. In “unschooling,” the child would have fr...

Savantism and Multiple Intelligences: The Extraordinary Brain Syndrome
A person with Savant syndrome is characterized as having a set of high-performance skills involving some cognitive areas related to logical reasoning, memory processing or creativity capacity. These skills can involve the ability to quickly solve numerical calculations, the ability of memorizing entire contents of books with ease (reading a great number of works of literatures in a short period) or even thoroughly developing great works of art, in an impressive way. In addition, some individuals...
