Impaired maintenance of high neuronal firing rates due to suboptimal ATP production would impair learning at all levels of neural circuits involved in memory formation, including prefrontal cortex, striatum, cerebellum, and parietal cortex.
Hyperactivity is a behaviour officially indicated by increased movement, impulsiveness and inattention, and can impair learning.
Furthermore, exercise performed immediately prior to a visual perceptual learning task may impair learning.
Thus, in the following studies we tested whether dual blockade of FAAH and MAGL would impair learning in a repeated acquisition Morris water maze task.
Studies have shown that while teenagers are better at learning to multitask than adults, distraction from smartphones and other devices can still impair learning, so they should switch them off completely when they're trying to study.
"The primary risk is having the essay read by someone who doesn't understand learning disabilities, someone who thinks A.D.H.D. is a hyperactive kid in fifth grade bouncing off the walls," said Rachel Masson, director of admissions at Landmark College in Putney, Vt., which offers an associate's degree and is exclusively for students with conditions that impair learning.
Multitasking may impair learning through rapid use of the limited capacity of learners' information processing channels, especially attention processes, leaving insufficient space for meaningful learning.
THC may impair learning in adolescents more than in adults because of delayed activation of cellular homeostatic adaptive mechanisms underlying cannabinoid tolerance in the hippocampus.
If information is stored as activity-driven increases in synaptic weights in the hippocampal formation, saturation of hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) should impair learning.
You can smoke tobacco and go to school, because it doesn't impair learning.
A study we conducted in the Los Angeles Unified School District suggests that a school's environment can impair learning.
