Neural dissociation associated with hypothesis-generating and hypothesis-understanding in learning science: Evidence from an fMRI study

Abstract

Event Abstract Back to Event Neural dissociation associated with hypothesis-generating and hypothesis-understanding in learning science: Evidence from an fMRI study Jun-Ki Lee1* and Yong-Ju Kwon2 1 Korea National University of Education, Republic of Korea 2 NYU, United States Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to examine the hypothesized dissociation between the neural network of hypothesis-generating and hypothesis-understanding. We have designed two sets of task paradigm on the biological phenomena: hypothesis-generating and hypothesis-understanding and sixty healthy participants performed the tasks. Our results show that participants used different neural network between hypothesis-generating and hypothesis-understanding and they were appearing dissociating patterns. In other words, in their brain, two types of thinking strategy related to hypothesis don’t share the same brain regions or networks. Therefore likewise the general physical causality experiment the neural network associated with hypothesis-generating and hypothesis-understanding in biology learning is operating independently. Taken together, it concludes that hypothesis-generating and hypothesis-understanding in biology learning is dissociated in neural network level. That is the reason why what we could not students’ ability of scientific hypothesis-generating by the traditional teacher’s expository style teaching-learning method (hypothesis-understanding type learning).
