Working
memory training
may not be as helpful
as once thought for treating reading and language disorders.
Working memory training has been shown to improve performance on tasks related
to the training but not on
general cognitive performance. For more information regarding this topic read the following article:

2013 AERA-- Message from TEP Program Chair
The Teaching Educational Psychology (TEP) Special
Interest Group (SIG) Program at the AERA Annual Meeting is a fabulous
opportunity to share the research and work you have been doing all year with other who are like minded. Teaching
Educational Psychology is especially important in this age of accreditation and accountability. Contributions to the theoretical and practical foundation of our profession are critical as
we support and extend
our area of expertise, as well as impact future educators with constructive and cutting
edge research based methods.
Next year’s conference theme is “Education and Poverty: Theory, Research,
Policy and Praxis.” Our
program is dependent
upon the peer-review process, so please volunteer to be a reviewer. Last month we
invited approximately 50 TEP members to review papers, as well as 6 graduate students.
Currently, 21 have
formally accepted the invitation to review,
plus 3 graduate students.
Only 2 have refused;
however, we are
still waiting to hear from 21 others.
Please consider participating in the review
process. This is a
great opportunity for you to help select the papers and set the program for the conference.
I am aiming
for 35 reviewers so that each person will need to review no more than 10 papers. Graduate students will be used as reviewers and their reviews will be considered by the review
panel; however, their numerical scores are not used in calculating final evaluation of the submissions. This can be a fun process
as you get to “peek” into the work currently being conducted by others interested in teaching educational psychology. In addition,
we will need chairs
and discussants
for each session.
Volunteer information can be found
on the AERA website under
the link for 2013 AERA Annual Meeting
Online Portal. I encourage you to participate in these leadership roles as we continue to build a strong and effective TEP SIG!
Thank you!
