The summit includes panel discussions by leading researchers, such as noted Johns Hopkins neuroscientists Steven Yantis and Martha Bridge Denckla, followed by roundtable discussion groups.
The summit will explore three research areas and discuss implications for practice. The three strands include:
- The influence of “multi-tasking” on attention and engagement, including how it affects children with attention deficits.
- The influence of gaming and other educational technologies on cognition and learning.
- The use and implementation of assistive technology as it relates to genetic, metabolic, and degenerative brain disorders.
The JHU summit is presented in partnership with the Learning & the Brain Conference which will be held on May 4- 6, 2012 at the Crystal Gateway Marriott Hotel in Arlington, VA .
