Description¶

The statement of task organizes the study around learning and learning contexts "across the lifespan (specifically, infancy and early childhood, middle childhood, adolescence and young adulthood, middle adulthood and older adulthood)" and across disciplines including cognitive neuroscience, learning technologies, education research, cognitive science, language and linguistics, and social, emotional and motivational aspects of learning. This lifespan-by-discipline framing structures what the report reviews and synthesizes.
