In this podcast, Dr Weston talks with brain scientist, Dr Duncan Astle, about how to consolidate learning in our memory and finds out some actionable and evidence-based revision tips. They debunk some common neuromyths and explore why we need to change the way we think about intervening to help children who struggle with learning.
In this episode, Kate Mouncey, Research Lead and Director of Sixth Form at Sandringham Research School, interviews Dr Duncan Astle, Group Leader at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit at The University of Cambridge. In their discussion, they cover a whole host of important areas including working memory, long term memory, ADHD and 'neuromyths'. Duncan also offers helpful suggestions to teachers and school leaders about the implications from brain science research for classroom practice.
Duncan is a developmental psychologist at the University of Cambridge whose research explores how cognitive development relates to neural structures, networks, and processes. During this podcast he chats to Sue Fletcher-Watson about a piece of research that shows that for any specific learning profile there are many underlying possible brain networks.You can follow Duncan on Twitter here.The paper discussed in this episode is: Bathelt, J., Holmes, J., Astle, D. E., Gathercole, S., Astle, D., Manly, T., & Kievit, R. (2018). Data-Driven Subtyping of Executive Function–Related Behavioral Problems in Children. Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, 57(4), 252-262.
Welcome to a bonus episode of Naked Neuroscience, the podcast exploring the workings of the brain and the nervous system, in our bodies and beyond.

In this episode we chat to Duncan Astle, a developmental neuroscientist, who's based at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit. Duncan and I talk about his recent study that uses machine learning to identify learning difficulties and why children may struggle at school. We also talk about his work with Pride in STEM and how the current scientific research publishing model needs to change.
Welcome to this first episode of our newest series, What Matters in Edtech, supported by Bett. This series is all about the things that matter in education, and how and when tech might help. What's in this episode? In the first episode, we are looking at Inclusion and Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). We look at those working across teaching, learning and research supporting those with special educational needs and disabilities. We look at how their efforts are making way for better identification of learning needs, better innovation in assistive technology, and more inclusion in the classroom, at a time when grade pressure is charged with marginalising SEND learners.

Claudia busts some myths in neuroscience. She meets scientists attending the British Neuroscience Association's Christmas symposium on Neuromyths. She talks to Professor Chris MacManus about myths around left and right and how we use the different sides of our brain. She discusses with Duncan Astle from Cambridge University about the brain myths that have been used in education in primary schools. Cordelia Fine from Melbourne University discusses the myths about the differences between male and female brains. Anne Cook from the BNA talks about some historical myths which have been busted but why others still persist. Emma Yhnell from Cardiff University talks about whether brain training really works.

This week we're looking at the ways we try to understand the inner workings of the brain. We'll talk to University College London researcher Cliodhna O'Connor about patterns in the way the public interprets neuroscience news. And we'll ask Duncan Astle, Program Leader at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, about "neuromyths," popular misconceptions about the way the brain functions, and the strengths and weaknesses of modern brain imaging techniques.
