The premise of neuroplasticity on enhancing cognitive functioning among healthy as well as cognitively impaired individuals across the lifespan, and the potential of harnessing these processes to prevent cognitive decline attract substantial scientific and public interest. Indeed, the systematic evidence base for cognitive training, video games, physical exercise and other forms of brain stimulation such as entrain brain activity is growing rapidly. This Research Topic (RT) focused on recent research conducted in the field of cognitive and brain plasticity induced by physical activity, different types of cognitive training, including computerized interventions, learning therapy, video games, and combined intervention approaches as well as other forms of brain stimulation that target brain activity, including electroencephalography and neurofeedback. It contains 49 contributions to the topic, including Original Research articles (37), Clinical Trials (2), Reviews (5), Mini Reviews (2), Hypothesis and Theory (1), and Corrections (2).
Enhancing Children’s Cognition with Physical Activity Games helps you create movement-based learning experiences that build the bodies and minds of children ages 3 to 12. You’ll learn how to develop physical activities that foster cognitive development and enhance academic achievement.
In Rossella Rago's debut cookbook Cooking with Nonna, Rossella and her Italian-American grandmother guest chefs take you on a culinary journey through Italy.
Precursors of Childhood Anxietyuses child psychology to delve into the concerning rise of anxiety disorders in young individuals aged 8 to 16. Shruti Soudi embarks on an exploration of familial dynamics and parenting strategies, dissecting their profound impact on children's emotional well-being. Through meticulous case studies and real-world scenarios, the author unravels the intricate connections between family dynamics, socioeconomic factors, parental styles, and the emotional experiences of children. Unlike existing literature that often treats these variables in isolation, this work synthesizes them into a comprehensive narrative. It addresses the harsh reality of children caught in par...
Nel corso dell’ultimo decennio, il gruppo di ricerca coordinato da Michele Pellerey e finanziato dal CNOS-FAP ha sviluppato un ambiente on line che raccoglie e mette liberamente a disposizione una serie di questionari utili a valutare e promuovere alcune competenze di natura strategica che risultano essere alla base della capacità di “dirigere se stessi nello studio e nel lavoro”. Il volume, che raccoglie i contributi presentati al convegno “Dirigere se stessi nello studio e nel lavoro. Competenzestrategiche.it: strumenti e applicazioni”, rende visibile il lavoro di ricerca realizzato dal network spontaneo che si è sviluppato, in diversi contesti (scolastico, della formazione professionale, universitario, dell’orientamento e dei servizi per il lavoro), intorno all’uso degli strumenti implementati sulla piattaforma competenzestrategiche.it.

This textbook focuses on the relationship between physical exercise and cognition, a very timely and important topic with major theoretical and practical implications for a number of areas including ageing, neurorehabilitation, depression and dementia. It brings together a wide range of analytical approaches and experimental results to provide a very useful overview and synthesis of this growing field of study. The book is divided into three parts: Part I covers the conceptual, theoretical and methodological underpinnings and issues. Part II focuses on advances in exercise and cognition research, with appropriate sub-sections on ‘acute’ and ‘chronic’ exercise and cognition. Part III ...
Motor skills are a vital part of healthy development and are featured prominently both in physical examinations and in parents’ baby diaries. It has been known for a long time that motor development is critical for children’s understanding of the physical and social world. Learning occurs through dynamic interactions and exchanges with the physical and the social world, and consequently movements of eyes and head, arms and legs, and the entire body are a critical during learning. At birth, we start with relatively poorly developed motor skills but soon gain eye and head control, learn to reach, grasp, sit, and eventually to crawl and walk on our own. The opportunities arising from each o...
