How does Working Memory Modulate Perception and Executive Function?

Studying executive functioning in a classroom using both EEG (electroencephalography) and NIRS (near-infrared spectroscopy) can provide valuable insights into cognitive processes, attention, and decision-making of students. Here's a general outline of how you might approach this:

 

Ethics and Consent:

Ensure you have the necessary ethical approvals to conduct research on human participants. Obtain informed consent from participants or their guardians if they are minors.

 

Participant Selection:

Choose a representative sample of students that you want to study. Ensure diversity in terms of age, gender, and academic performance to capture a broad range of executive functioning abilities.

 

Experimental Design:

Design experiments that assess executive functioning tasks relevant to the classroom environment. Tasks could include working memory tasks, cognitive flexibility tasks (like the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test), inhibitory control tasks (like the Stroop task), and attention tasks.

 

EEG Setup:

Set up EEG equipment to record brain activity. Place electrodes on the scalp according to the international 10-20 system. EEG will provide temporal information about brain activity.

 

NIRS Setup:

Set up NIRS equipment to measure changes in blood oxygenation levels in the brain. Place NIRS optodes on the scalp to cover relevant brain regions. NIRS provides information about hemodynamic changes associated with neural activity.

 

Task Presentation:

Present the selected executive functioning tasks to participants. Ensure the tasks are engaging and suitable for the age group you are studying. Use specialized software for task presentation and data collection.

 

Data Collection:

Record EEG and NIRS data simultaneously while participants perform the tasks. Ensure data quality by monitoring signal noise and artifacts. Note the conditions under which each task is performed for later analysis.

 

Data Analysis:

Analyze the collected data to extract meaningful insights. For EEG data, you can perform spectral analysis to identify frequency bands (e.g., alpha, beta) associated with different cognitive states. For NIRS data, analyze changes in oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin concentrations.

 

Integration of EEG and NIRS Data:

Combining EEG and NIRS data can provide a more comprehensive understanding of brain activity. Correlate EEG and NIRS data to identify patterns of neural activation during specific executive tasks.

 

Statistical Analysis:

Use appropriate statistical tests to analyze the data and identify significant differences or correlations. This could involve comparing brain activity between different tasks, assessing correlations with academic performance, or examining age-related differences.

 

Interpretation and Discussion:

Interpret the results in the context of executive functioning in the classroom. Discuss how the findings align with existing research and theories about executive functioning and cognitive processes in educational settings.

 

Limitations and Future Directions:

Discuss the limitations of your study, such as the sample size, equipment constraints, and potential confounding factors. Suggest possible avenues for future research to build upon your findings.

 

Reporting and Presentation:

Write a research report or prepare a presentation summarizing your study, methods, results, and conclusions. Share your findings with the scientific community to contribute to the understanding of executive functioning in the classroom.

Aprenda a mudar sua Percepção

Sua percepção possui 5 variáveis fundamentais:

1 - Conectoma Cerebral;

2 - Nível de atividade de seus 11 sentidos;

3 - Memórias pre-ativadas;4 - O nível de atenção;

5 - O estímulo apresentado;
