NEUROSCIENCE AND COGNITIVE IMPROVEMENT FOR INCLUSION: COGNITIVE MOTOR TRAINING

Sara Pellegrini

Abstract


The hypothesis is examined that the inclusion of people can be significantly conditioned by the possible methodological and scientific alliances of neuroscience for cognitive improvement also through Cognitive Motor Training.

The aim of the research, carried out through a sample of 406 students in the month of May 2024 during the attendance of training courses qualifying for 30 CFU Ex Art. 13, is to understand the reflections on teachers' awareness.
