Objective: Theory suggests that impaired executive functioning (EF) might explain several symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children. However, only a few studies have examined the efficacy of EF training for the children using randomized control trial designs, and only two of them found significant benefits of the training. Method: We…

Cognitive neuroscience research is typically conducted in controlled laboratory environments and therefore its contribution to our understanding of learning in real-world environments is limited. In recent years, however, portable and wearable brain devices have become more readily available for classroom-based research. Complementing existing…

To examine the feasibility and effects of implementing relaxation training with a heterogeneous group of secondary school students in the classroom setting, and to determine the validity and reliability of using wrist temperature as a biofeedback method, 532 seventh grade students, divided into experimental and control groups, participated in a…
