This SLC Catalyst activity focuses on individual differences in learning. If individual differences can be known -- and marked somehow in each individual -- then it may be possible to intervene to optimize learning. To fully understand the highly individual learning process, this project aims to resolve in detail the molecular, cellular, and systems basis of patterns of neural activity and networks in rodent models and in humans that contribute to individual learning. The long-range vision is to develop an integrated understanding of individual differences in learning such that it may be possible in the future to tailor teaching methods, or other means of intervention, to an individual based on the function of his/her unique brain system to optimize learning. This Catalyst project plans for a Science of Learning Center through a yearlong activity that emphasizes not only pilot projects to explore the basic research core, but the development of a foundation for diverse disciplines to work together. The research activities proposed have the potential to optimize learning for all individuals of our society. New Mexico as the first minority-majority state is a reflection of the changes occurring throughout the nation and consequently, has an important role as a laboratory for the exploration of the foundations of learning in a highly diverse population. The proposed Southwest Center for the Science of Learning will bring to bear the intellectual and diversity resources to address the complex educational, cultural and economic changes facing the rest of the nation.

这项 SLC Catalyst 活动重点关注学习中的个体差异。 如果可以了解个体差异并以某种方式在每个个体中进行标记，那么就有可能进行干预以优化学习。为了充分理解高度个体化的学习过程，该项目旨在详细解决啮齿动物模型和人类中有助于个体学习的神经活动和网络模式的分子、细胞和系统基础。长远的愿景是对学习中的个体差异进行综合理解，以便将来有可能根据个人独特的大脑系统的功能定制教学方法或其他干预手段。以优化学习。该催化剂项目计划通过为期一年的活动建立学习科学中心，该活动不仅强调探索基础研究核心的试点项目，还强调为不同学科的合作奠定基础。拟议的研究活动有可能优化我们社会所有人的学习。新墨西哥州作为第一个少数族裔占多数的州，反映了全国范围内发生的变化，因此，作为探索高度多样化人口的学习基础的实验室，发挥着重要作用。拟建的西南学习科学中心将利用智力和多样性资源来解决全国其他地区面临的复杂的教育、文化和经济变化。
