As neuroscience and
neuropsychology gain attention in the wider popular imagination, one has to ask
about the impact and influence of these domains on fields such as education andspecifically science education.

Many educators argue that
the foundational partner in education is cognitive psychology or perhaps social
psychology, however we posit a blending of cognitive psychology and
neuroscience would provide greater utility for research and understanding human
learning and that education is one of the largest untapped areas of research in
neuroscience. This is because ultimately all educational research is
constrained by the lack of understanding of structure and function of the human
brain. Despite this obvious link between neuroscience, neuropsychology, and
education, there is considerable consternation in education as to the practical
application of these fields to educational practice. Educational academics
claim there are disconnects between education and neuroscience at a fundamental
level.
