An example of the nexus of research and teaching comes from correlating implications from research about memory, cognition, neuroplasticity, and discoveries about the timing of brain maturation with the incorporation of transfer opportunities throughout instruction, such that students apply learning to contexts beyond those in which it is taught and rehearsed.</p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={LEARNing Landscapes}, author={Willis, Judy}, year={2011}, month={May}, pages={259-265} }
