Abstract
ABSTRACTWorking memory is a hot topic in the field of cognitive neuroscience and has attracted the attention of many researchers in the field of education. In recent years, it has been found that the cognitive ability related to spatial information in working memory can positively affect STEM academic performance, which is highly important for educational practice. However, empirical studies on the relationship between spatial working memory and education, especially STEM education, are still scarce, especially studies on the combination of brain electrophysiological activities. On this basis, we designed an n‐back spatial working memory experiment and recorded the electrophysiological data at the same time. The results indicate that STEM education level has a significant main effect on participants' behavioral accuracy, whereas working memory load has no significant main effect on behavioral accuracy. The differential characteristics of the N1, P3, and LPP components in electrophysiological ERP performance also have potential as biomarkers to distinguish between different types of STEM educational performance. This means that there is a new direction and focus for STEM education from macro decision‐making and reform to micro design and intervention. Moreover, this study provides exploratory ideas for the optimization of different subject courses in STEM education and science education related to students' growth process.
