The focus of this conference is on Emotional Learning and Memory. Cognitive neuroscience has found that emotions and cognition are interconnected in the learning process. They influence memory, motivation, self-discipline, academic performance, and learning disorders. At this conference, you will discover what research is revealing about the emotional brain and how these new findings can be used to improve learning, memory and academic performance.
