    • A state of attentional readiness

    • Important state for learning

    • Warning signals and predictability support attentional readiness

    (Posner & Rothbart, 2014)

    • SLRC Research led by Prof A. Carroll, Prof J. Mattingley, A/Prof P. Dux & Dr N Matthews

    • Neural markers of attentional readiness and the impact on learning

    • EEG records brain activity during mathematics task

    Alpha Waves

    Lower pre-trial alpha amplitude increased attentional readiness increased performance

    Higher pre-trial alpha amplitude decreased attentional readiness decreased performance

  • Monitor alertness

    Consider the impact of the environment/physical state

    Work for short focused periods

    Encourage student awareness and self-monitoring

    Use warning signals or cues

    • Aligning attention with sensory signals

    • Selective, sustained attention is critical for explicit learning (Erikson et. al, 2015)

    • Initially governed by novelty but increasingly controlled and selective (Ruff & Rothbart, 1996; Erikson et. al., 2015)

    (Posner & Rothbart, 2014)

  • Attention Network ModelOrienting Network

    14

  • Orienting attention can be influenced by:• Saliency of stimuli (Ruff & Rothbart, 1996)

    • Prior knowledge and learning (Kim & Rehder, 2011)

    • Motivation and reward (Bourgeois, Chelazzi & Vuilleumier, 2016)

    • Emotion (Pine et. al., 2005; Shackman, Shackman, & Pollak, 2007)

    Attention Network ModelOrienting Network – Further Research

  • Create interest in the material

    Reduce environmental distractors

    Make learning goals clear and explicit

    Link new learning to prior learning

    Single focus where possible – multitasking does not support performance

    • Control of attention

    • Important for goal directed actions

    • Control of attention in young children tends to be reactive and becomes more proactive with maturation (Chevalier et. al, 2015)

    • Help students develop goals and prioritise actions Make learning goals explicit Use feedback effectively Use planning tools

    • Encourage self-reflection Encourage students to stop and think before they act Provide replacement for impulsive actions Explore outcomes and visualise helpful prior to demanding situations

  • A Metacognitive Intervention Approach

  • Metacognitive Vs Brain Training Interventions

    • Typically laboratory and computer based

    • Training effects typically limited with little evidence of transfer

    • Lack functional application to traditional education settings

    (Redick et al., 2013)

  • Metacognitive Intervention

    • A mental activity that regulates cognition

    • Reflects ‘top-down’ regulatory control

    • Targets task approach (knowledge and control)

    • Potential for translation to applied educational context

    (Marulis et al., 2016; Schneider & Lockl, 2008; Kuhn & Dean, 2004)
