Cognitive Neuroscience in Education can be described as the intersection of cognitive neuroscience, psychology, and educational research. From a methodological viewpoint, cognitive neuroscience can be applied to certain kinds of educational research because it presents a toolbox to study specific types of educational research topics. Promising applications of cognitive neuroscience in educational research include understanding the origins of atypical development, understanding the biological processes involved in learning school-relevant skills, predicting educational outcomes, making predictions that can be tested in educational research, and implementing biological interventions.
