Turning Science into Strategies
Despite decades of effort trying to marry scientific insights with real-world practice, very little (if anything) has changed in fields ranging from education to business. During this compelling and interactive session, we will explore why laboratory research rarely impacts professional practice, consider what is required in order to translate research for the real-world, and dive deeply into several concrete examples of this process in action within the field of education.

Learning Outcomes
– Describe the process of emergence and why this impedes translation
– Explain how written text and spoken words interact within the brain and what impact this has on learning
– Describe the key to deep, durable memories and how this might be meaningful across varied fields
– Explain the mechanisms behind the single worst thing human beings can do for learning and memory
