Willpower Is the Key to Enhancing Learning and Memory
An increase in theta oscillations in the hippocampus help make learning and subsequent memory more efficient. Active or voluntary learning is a major topic in education, psychology, and neuroscience. Over the years, numerous studies have shown that when learning occurs … Continue reading
The Influences of Emotion on Learning and Memory
Emotion has a substantial influence on the cognitive processes in humans, including perception, attention, learning, memory, reasoning, and problem solving. Emotion has a particularly strong influence on attention, especially modulating the selectivity of attention as well as motivating action and … Continue reading

Distributed Cognition – Domains and Dimensions
Synthesizing the domains of investigation highlighted in current research in distributed cognition and related fields, this paper offers an initial taxonomy of the overlapping types of resources which typically contribute to distributed or extended cognitive systems. It then outlines a … Continue reading
