Educators are key to the attention of the talent and high capacities.

-when applied neuroscience in the field school and psychological, school children develop better its potential.

– knowledge of learning processes, the base of the functioning of the brain, helps to know many of the causes of why a child does not render in the study and what programs apply to solve the ”, says Pilar Martín Lobo. In addition, these programs are effective in early ages and primary and secondary education.

Spain, February 2013.- According to data collected by the Unesco in the 2012 Edition of the ’Education for all’ (EFA) annual survey, published last October, Spain is the first country in Europe in terms of school failure and bad job placement of their youth. Neuropsychological factors directly influence the learning ”, says Pilar Martín Lobo, Director of the official Master’s degree in Neuropsychology and education from the University in Internet of la Rioja, which brings together the experience of application of Neuropsychology at more than 40 schools in the classroom and guidance programmes for improving school performance.

One of every three young Spaniards aged between 15 and 24 leaves school before finishing secondary education, according to the EFA study. Similar data in previous years led to Martín Lobo to explore scientific advancements on the workings of the brain in learning and to organize a multidisciplinary team with Optometrists, experts in audio and visual functionality, experts in physical education, psychologists, and psychologists, which made possible the creation of diagnostic tests and programs with activities to implement them in the classroom and in the departments orientation, as well as in specialized centres.

Teachers, directors and counselors who know these processes discover new methodologies for educational response to the specific needs of each student ”, said Martín Lobo. For this purpose it was launched this Master in Neuropsychology and education, which already has eight years of experience and more than 600 graduates from different countries.

The result of the application of neuropsychological tests reflected that students who approved have more developed abilities neuropsychological students suspending.
