Executive functions develop during the first years of life and
determine future learning and personal development. Executive
dysfunction is related to various neurodevelopmental disorders, so
its study is of great interest for intervention in children with
neurotypical development and in those who have suffered a
neurodevelopmental disorder. The Handbook of Research on
Neurocognitive Development of Executive Functions and Implications
for Intervention offers updated research on executive functions and
their implication in psychoeducational intervention. It establishes
a multidisciplinary context to discuss both intervention experience
and research results in different areas of knowledge. Covering
topics such as childhood inhibitory processing, mindfulness
interventions, and language development, this major reference work
is an excellent resource for psychologists, medical professionals,
researchers, academicians, educators, and students.
Students of color and those of lower economic backgrounds and of
underrepresented groups appear to face a disadvantage when they
transition from high schools into colleges. These students tend to
have lower academic preparation than white students, which leads to
higher levels of stress and anxiety, as well as an increased
placement in remedial courses, which negatively impacts their
graduation rates. As institutions become aware of these facts and
take appropriate measures to improve educational experiences, they
must implement Transparency in Learning and Teaching (TILT)
initiatives in order to provide equal access to education.
Integrating Transparency in Learning and Teaching (TILT): An
Effective Tool for Providing Equitable Opportunity in Higher
Education provides information on Transparency in Learning and
Teaching (TILT) concepts and how they can be used in course
development to improve student learning and performance. It focuses
on bringing positive learning experiences to college students,
especially first-generation students, which can lead to higher
levels of academic success. It strongly advocates for transparent
education and provides guidance for overcoming the existing
accessibility gap in higher education. Covering topics such as
business education, online learning platforms, and teaching
modalities, this book is an indispensable resource for
academicians, faculty developers, administrators, instructional
designers, professors, and researchers.
