Neuromyths are pervasive misconceptions about the brain and its functioning. They are widely held by the general population, as well as by teachers and by preservice teachers. Need for cognition (NfC) may offer a protective effect against misconceptions. The current study examined endorsement of neuromyths in a sample of aspiring teachers and other students as a function of NfC. In an online survey, participants rated agreement with a range of misconceptions and factual statements about the brain and completed a scale measuring NfC. Results showed that participants correctly rejected two thirds of the misconception statements, but there was a high level of agreement for some neuromyth items. Aspiring teachers performed better on factual statements but not neuromyths compared to those not aspiring to teach. NfC was positively associated with ratings of the factual statements, but not with the misconceptions. The findings suggest that some neuromyths remain pervasive and NfC does not confer protection.

We studied the effect of the number and characteristics of siblings (sex, age) on school achievement in several grades (kindergarten, first grade, and fifth grade), in two large French cohorts, with more than 16,000 children. Running linear mixed‐effects models, we find that, independently of socioeconomic status, having more siblings is negatively associated with school achievement. We found a stronger negative association between the number of siblings and the achievement in older compared to younger siblings. This finding is in line with the resource dilution model, where families with more children have fewer resources available per child, but contradicts the confluence model (i.e., a child's intellectual ability is influenced by the average intellectual ability in the family). The negative association between the number of siblings and achievement was moderated by family income, with weaker effects in wealthier families.

In this article, we give an overview of translational educational neuroscience (mind, brain, and education) in the United Kingdom. We consider the state of translation, describing respectively the state of the dialogue between researchers and educators, the state of evaluation of approaches to improve educational outcomes, and the state of innovation in research translation. We consider the teacher perspective. What do UK teachers think about educational neuroscience and its potential for informing classroom practice, and how do ideas about pedagogical approaches feature among their everyday concerns? We describe the results of a recent survey from a representative sample of over 1,000 UK teachers, and a case study of a UK high school teacher who employs educational neuroscience in his practice and what this entails. Lastly, we consider the policy perspective and assess the recent move by the UK government to introduce knowledge of cognitive science into initial and early‐career teacher training.

As the field of educational neuroscience continues to expand, novel neuroscientific methods are met with both exhilaration and concern. Further, students who experience the greatest educational disparities (e.g., students from diverse linguistic backgrounds) are often the least represented in educational research, calling into question the generalizability of results. The current special issue highlights the importance of the utilization of novel experimental methods and inclusion of underrepresented samples in educational neuroscience. In this introduction to the special issue, we emphasize the importance of these studies in moving the field forward. We also provide a review of the included studies, as well as summarize the implications of these included studies to in the field of educational neuroscience.

This article describes a novel method for quantifying fixation disparity and evaluates its role in visuospatial cognition during an authentic learning task, specifically, the determination of molecule chirality in organic chemistry involving mental rotation and pattern comparison. The first study examined the influence of molecular model dimensionality (2D vs. 3D) on chirality determination performance and visual attention of 55 participants. The second study explored how the sustained playing of the tile‐matching game Mahjong, a pattern comparison game, can affect visual attention and visuospatial performance during the chirality determination task of 59 participants. Fixation disparity was one of the eye tracking variables explored. Both studies revealed that (1) individuals with higher fixation disparity underperformed on the chirality task, which involves mental rotation and pattern comparison, and (2) fixation disparity improved over time in participants who played Mahjong. This work provides important implications for using fixation disparity as a possible biomarker of visuospatial performance.

The concept of sustainability has been gaining prominence due to its social, economic, and environmental implications. The urgency surrounding this issue continues to mount as we strive to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals outlined in the 2030 Agenda. To achieve these goals, it is imperative to harness scientific knowledge and innovative educational approaches. Pedagogical approaches can be a powerful ally to behavioral change, playing a decisive role in educating sustainable communities. Concurrently, neuroscientific basis has been used as a relevant tool to foster knowledge on human behavior, namely value attribution and decision‐making. In this work, we emphasize the construction of 1‐day workshops with high school students, focusing on neuro‐based processes underlying sustainable choices. Several innovative pedagogical methods have been employed to encourage the development of critical knowledge and promote the adoption of more sustainable behavior. This article discusses the connection between sustainable consumption and neuroscience, highlighting the vital role of education in shaping the consciousness of responsible citizens. The diversity of educational activities, the stimulation of creativity, and critical thinking cannot only improve the acquisition of concepts but also contribute to the education of citizens who are informed and capable of making responsible and conscious decisions.

Perceptual learning theory suggests that perceptual grouping in mathematical expressions can direct students' attention toward specific parts of problems, thus impacting their mathematical reasoning. Using in‐lab eye tracking and a sample of 85 undergraduates from a STEM‐focused university, we investigated how higher‐order operator position (HOO; i.e., multiplication/division operators and the presence of superfluous brackets impacted students' time to first fixation to the HOO, response time, and percent of correct responses). Students solved order‐of‐operations problems presented in six ways (3 HOO positions × presence of brackets). We found that HOO position and presence of superfluous brackets had separate and combined impacts on calculating arithmetic expressions. Superfluous brackets most influenced undergraduates' performance when higher‐order operators were located in the center of mathematical expressions. Implications for learning and future directions are discussed about observing eye movements and gaining insights into students' processes when solving arithmetic expressions.

For two decades, the field of Mind, Brain and Education (MBE) has shed light on learning mechanisms. However, the direct involvement of young learners in the design and creation of research projects, while steadily emerging, is still rare. More researchers are beginning to see the benefits of co‐construction of not only research questions but also experimental design and analysis based on young learners' ideas. Recognizing that learning is inseparable from social relationships and well‐being, the papers in this special issue respond to two main questions: (1) Why co‐production? (2) How is co‐production achieved? We hope that this special issue will invite discussions about the different domains within MBE research in which learners' input and collaboration can be valuable. We invite readers to take into consideration the diversity of methods which are represented in this special issue to engage young learners and collect their perspectives.

As the field of Mind, Brain, and Education (MBE) continues to grow, MBE researchers have begun expanding the scope of their investigations and approaches. One such development is the establishment of collaborative partnership with young learners, both to inform research practices and to develop student‐researchers. We explore how middle school students (ages 12 to 14 years) engage in MBE research through an assistantship program, initiated through a unique research‐practice partnership that embeds MBE researchers and an electrophysiology laboratory into a school. In this program, student‐researchers learn about experimental methods, assist with university research protocols, and drive independent projects. Here, we detail this program and report on its impact from both the teacher and student‐researcher perspectives. Overall, we find that daily involvement in scientific research aids the holistic development of student‐researchers by fostering academic and nonacademic skills that may transcend formal learning environments.

Phonological awareness (PA) is an important predictor and outcome of reading. Yet, little is known about the reciprocal relation between PA and reading across development without consistent reading experience (e.g., as a result of limited access to quality education and late enrolment in school). We tested the hypothesis that variable reading experience in childhood influences neural activation in regions involved in language and reading processing—left frontal and temporoparietal cortex. Sixty‐nine primary‐school children (Mage = 10.4) from rural low‐literacy communities in Côte d'Ivoire completed a PA task while undergoing functional near‐infrared spectroscopy neuroimaging (fNIRS) neuroimaging and a reading battery. We observed differences in left inferior frontal and bilateral temporoparietal activation for younger versus older children with similar reading skills, suggesting neural activations for phonological processing depends on the age when children have reading experience. Without consistent access to quality education, children may miss out on reciprocal interactions between phonological processing and reading shaping language processing in the brain.
语音意识（PA）是阅读的重要预测因素和结果。然而，在没有持续阅读经验的情况下（例如，由于接受优质教育的机会有限和入学较晚），人们对语音意识与阅读之间的相互关系知之甚少。我们测试了一个假设，即童年时期不同的阅读经历会影响语言和阅读处理相关区域--左额叶和颞顶叶皮层--的神经激活。来自科特迪瓦农村低文化水平社区的 69 名小学生（Mage = 10.4）在完成 PA 任务的同时，还接受了功能性近红外光谱神经成像（fNIRS）和阅读测试。我们观察到，在阅读技能相似的情况下，年龄较小的儿童与年龄较大的儿童在左侧额叶下部和双侧颞顶叶激活方面存在差异，这表明语音处理的神经激活取决于儿童拥有阅读经验的年龄。如果没有持续接受优质教育的机会，儿童可能会错过语音处理与阅读之间的相互影响，从而影响大脑中的语言处理。
