But we also can be accused of ignoring or side-stepping the obvious, like the fact that a healthy child is a better learner, that poverty usually constitutes a serious impediment to learning, and that what children do during the 80percentt of waking hours they are not in school can mean the difference between thriving and failing.
Evidence is growing that sleep problems in adolescents are significant impediments to learning, cognition and memory.
The negative themes were students' resistance to peer learning, transmission of inaccurate information and impediments to learning.
In particular, it is unknown if the observed impediments to learning were the result of both proactive and retroactive interference, or proactive interference alone.
Computational learning theory is a new and rapidly expanding area of research that examines formal models of induction with the goals of discovering the common methods underlying efficient learning algorithms and identifying the computational impediments to learning.
To illuminate those challenges and identify approaches for overcoming them we will draw from our research and from the work of other scholars in the field of behavioral decision making, and focus on three interrelated impediments to learning.
Some schools tackle these problems head-on by setting up a health care clinic or developing a partnership with a neighborhood health center, but others simply don't have the resources and time to address these fundamental impediments to learning.
They thus make a strong case for a Broader, Bolder Approach to Education; high-quality early childhood education, rigorous, enriching instruction for all students, and comprehensive supports help alleviate poverty-related impediments to learning.
This suggestion, that need-based reasoning may represent a transition point rather than a misconception, challenges the current consensus that it is an impediment to learning (e.g., Bishop and Anderson 1990; Nehm et al. 2010a; Nehm and Schonfeld 2008; Southerland et al. 2001).
