Future Directions for Understanding the Role of Instruction in Brain and Behavioral Development
from Part V - Classroom Socialization of Memory
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 May 2021
The Classroom Memory Study (Coffman et al., 2008) laid a foundation for understanding the ways in which teachers shape children’s memory development, but it also provides a framework for examining the acquisition of other related cognitive skills that children need to be successful in school. In this chapter, we draw on this foundation to describe new directions in research on the socialization of cognition in the school setting. First, we describe links between cognitive skills that support children’s learning in school, focusing on associations between memory skills and those associated with self-regulated learning, including metacognition and executive functions. We then outline studies linking schooling experience – including aspects of teacher language identified in the Classroom Memory Study – and self-regulated learning skills. Finally, building on this, new research focusing on the impact of instruction on the neural and behavioral correlates of student attention, a key aspect of self-regulation, will be described.
