EdNeuro
Melina Uncapher, Caleb Banks
The EdNeuro project is looking at executive functioning (EF) profiles in elementary school students. The team will bring ACE to classrooms across the Bay Area in order to create personalized EF profiles for the students. They will then use a novel, game-based intervention based on each student’s profile to selectively challenge subdomains of EF during physical fitness training. The project aims to determine whether personalized, multi- factor EF training can improve academic outcomes.
The team has already begun piloting the classroom- based portion of the program in 3 classrooms here in the Bay Area, and this summer, they plan to expand their efforts into Santa Clara County where they
will work with 500 to 600 students beginning in Fall 2016. |
