Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Anxiety affects learning in multiple ways and throughout the entire human lifespan. This includes learning in instructional settings, but also learning processes relevant to psychiatric conditions. At the same time, innovative learning methods may be used in the treatment of anxiety, and these are prevalent both in the clinical as well as in the educational domain.
This Special Issue of Brain Sciences aims to present a crossdisciplinary collection of papers on "Anxiety and Learning", in which brain research meets research questions relevant to educational or clinical practice. Authors are invited to submit empirical research that addresses the role of anxiety in learning, or interventions targeting one of the multifaceted interactions between anxiety and learning. Neuroscientifically dominated contributions should also discuss their implications in education or clinical practice. Contributions that mainly focus on educational or clinical research questions should link those to relevant brain mechanisms and include neuroscientific perspectives. Submissions from multidisciplinary research teams are particularly welcome.
