Second international School On Mind, Brain And Education
2007 May 22-26
Basic and Applied Topics
in Biological Rhythms and Learning
Directors: Antonio M. Battro and Kurt W. Fischer
Program officer: María Lourdes Majdalani
The main purpose of this meeting is to present and discuss ongoing research on the influence of chronobiology on learning processes and, more specifically, to assess the impact of biological rhythms on educational programs. Although there are significant cultural and geographical differences with respect to school timing and organization, another objective of this school is to propose a number of recommendations aimed at optimizing educational activities taking into account chronobiological principles tailored to diverse situations.
Some of the questions we have in mind for discussions are:
• Time of day and human performance
• Changes in school timing: gradual or abrupt?
• The sleep-wake cycle in relation to academic development
• Methods for assessing chronobiological changes in performance
• How long is adolescence?
• Temporal changes in attention and learning related to different academic topics
