Mind, Brain, and Education Speaker Series

The Southwest Center for Mind-Brain and Education at the University of Texas at Arlington invites you to listen and dialog with experts in the fields of cognitive and behavioral science as well as neuroscience as they explore new tools, models and ideas emerging at the intersection of education and the cognitive and neurosciences. The speakers will use the overarching principles of this new discipline, MBE, to explore how advances in their fields of neuroscience, genetics, or cognitive science can inform, and be informed by, educational practice and leadership.

The complexity of reading: A mind, brain, and education perspective

What is involved in the amazing development of the ability to make meaning of marks on a page? Learning to read involves the development of multiple skills and neurocognitive systems as well as the coordination of these skills and systems. I will discuss three key components of reading - orthographic, phonological, and semantic knowledge - from the multiple perspectives of mind, brain, and education to illustrate the rich complexity of the process of building a brain that reads.
