Abstract

This study attempts to investigate the important relationship that exists between synaptic plasticity and collaborative learning, and how this profoundly affects educational practices. Through studying the effects of flexibility on brain function and looking at teaching methods that involve collaboration, we are establishing the groundwork for improved, neurologically based educational strategies. Synaptic plasticity is a highly significant phenomenon in neuroscience, psychology education and clinical research.
