Mind, Brain, and Education

Scope

Mind, Brain, and Education (MBE) publishes peer-reviewed articles addressing biological, brain, cognitive and behavioral questions that are relevant to the broad field of education. The journal operates through an open submission process. In addition, researchers are encouraged to contact the editorial board with ideas for reviews, commentaries and special issues. Short and full-length empirical reports, reviews and commentaries on specific topics broadly relevant to MBE readership, including to practitioners, will be considered. MBE has an editorial board of internationally recognized scholars and practitioners from a variety of disciplines. MBE provides a forum for highest quality presentation of basic and applied research on learning and development across the ages, in typically developing and special needs populations, including analyses of biology, neuroscience, cognitive and social-emotional sciences, and education. Research in mind, brain, and education emphasizes the reciprocal relationship in which education informs biological and behavioral and cognitive research as much as these inform educational research and practice. MBE original research articles report novel discoveries from laboratory-based experiments or research in the settings of practice. MBE articles also may consider the biological, cultural and intergenerational factors that influence life-long learning and plasticity. MBE strives to be a highly respected resource for reporting basic and translational data that provide a framework for developing a critical understanding of advancing educational practices and curricula. The journal is thus a venue for scientifically reliable, educationally relevant research that connects mind, brain and education, catalyzing the kinds of research across disciplines that are essential to promote research-based practices in education.
