As the field of educational neuroscience continues to expand, novel neuroscientific methods are met with both exhilaration and concern. Further, students who experience the greatest educational disparities (e.g., students from diverse linguistic backgrounds) are often the least represented in educational research, calling into question the generalizability of results. The current special issue highlights the importance of the utilization of novel experimental methods and inclusion of underrepresented samples in educational neuroscience. In this introduction to the special issue, we emphasize the importance of these studies in moving the field forward. We also provide a review of the included studies, as well as summarize the implications of these included studies to in the field of educational neuroscience.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
