Scope

• The journal aims to close the distance between the study of the learning brain and the setting in which teaching happens.该刊旨在拉近对学习脑的研究与教学发生之地之间的距离。

• Cognitive understanding of learning is the starting point, and a paper may build from what is known of memory.对学习的认知理解是起点，论文可以从已知的记忆出发。

• Findings from systems neuroscience are used to improve an educational outcome, which is the kind of translation the journal seeks.系统神经科学的发现被用于改进教育结果，这正是该刊所寻求的那类转化。

• Translational research is taken, so a study is expected to cross the line between the laboratory and the classroom.转化研究会被接收，因此研究被期望跨越实验室与课堂之间的界线。

• Reviews of basic and applied research appear, since a teacher needs a summary rather than a single result.基础与应用研究的综述出现于该刊，因为教师需要的是综述而非单一结果。

• Project reports are published, and they may describe a programme that was tried in a school.项目报告会被发表，它们可以描述一项在学校中试行的方案。

• Best practice examples are taken, so a working arrangement may be described for others to consider.最佳实践范例会被接收，因此一种可行的安排可以被描述以供他人考虑。

• Opinions on evidence based policy are welcomed, since a decision about schooling should rest on evidence.基于证据的政策的意见受到欢迎，因为关于办学的决定应当依托证据。

• Cognitive psychology is a contributing field, and work on attention and on action control has a place.认知心理学是供稿领域，注意与动作控制方面的工作有其位置。

• Language is a named subject, and a paper may study how a child learns to read.语言是一个列出的主题，论文可以研究儿童如何学会阅读。

• Development is a theme, since a method that suits one age may fail at another.发展是一个主题，因为适合一个年龄的方法在另一个年龄可能失效。

• Methodology matters, and the journal takes papers that use imaging or electrophysiology to ask a question with a clear educational bearing.方法学很重要，该刊接收用影像或电生理提出具有明确教育意义问题的论文。

• Rigour is expected, since a claim about teaching has consequences for children.严谨被期望，因为一个关于教学的论断会对儿童产生影响。

• The journal serves several audiences at once, so a paper is written to be read by a neuroscientist and by a teacher.该刊同时服务若干读者群，因此论文的写作使其能被神经科学家与教师阅读。

• Four issues appear in a year, so the title reaches its readers quarterly.该刊每年出版四期，因此按季送达读者。

• A paper may report how a finding from the laboratory was turned into a classroom practice, and the account should show what changed and whether it helped.论文可以报告一项实验室发现如何被转为课堂做法，记述应说明改变了什么以及是否有帮助。

• Work on the reading brain is taken, since the way a child learns to decode a word has been studied with imaging.阅读脑方面的工作会被接收，因为儿童学会解码一个词的方式曾以影像加以研究。

• The journal covers number sense and the learning of arithmetic, where a cognitive account may suggest a way to teach.该刊覆盖数感与算术学习，其中认知层面的解释可能提示一种教法。

• A study of attention in a classroom is taken, and the paper may ask whether a short break changes what is remembered.课堂中注意的研究会被接收，论文可以追问一次短暂休息是否改变被记住的内容。

• Work on a training programme for teachers is taken, since what a teacher knows shapes what a class receives.面向教师的培训方案方面的工作会被接收，因为教师所知塑造了一个班级所接受的。

• The journal takes work on a myth in teaching, since a claim repeated often enough is believed without evidence.该刊接收教学中的迷思方面的工作，因为一个被反复重复的说法会在缺乏证据时被相信。

• A paper may report the relation between a brain measure and a school result, and the account should be careful about what that relation means.论文可以报告某一脑指标与学业结果之间的关系，记述应对这一关系的含义保持审慎。

• Work on the development of executive function is covered, since the ability to hold a plan in mind bears on learning.执行功能发展方面的工作也在覆盖之列，因为把计划保持在心中的能力关涉学习。

• A paper may report a study in which a programme was tried in several schools, and the account should show how the schools differed.论文可以报告一项在若干学校试行的方案，记述应说明这些学校有何不同。
