DESCRIPTION:With the recent advent of cognitive and affective neuroscience
 \, it has become possible to document both the cognitive mechanisms that a
 re automatic and fast as well as the affective mechanisms that are implici
 t and fine-tuned in nature by measuring their neural underpinnings. Curren
 t educational theories of motivation should be expanded to account for the
  role of implicit processing. This renewed focus on nonconscious processin
 g in the of motivation would yield new insights into student emotion\, cog
 nition and motivation\, leading to significant implications for designing 
 motivationally adaptive learning environment. In this talk\, the contempor
 ary neuroeducational research on various motivational variables such as in
 terest\, competence\, feedback\, competition\, autonomy\, and achievement 
 goals will be presented. It also addresses unique features of the novel ap
 proach called "neuroeducation" that distinguishes itself from the basic co
 gnitive neuroscience or affective neuroscience.\n\n
