The study of teaching, as the fundamental activity driving the transmission of informationbetween humans, has been mostly carried out by the educational sciences. This resulted in alack of studies that systematically evaluated how this activity takes place in terms of humanbehavior. In this talk we will discuss the development of teaching skills from an experimentalpsychology approach, trying to contribute to this vacant area. The idea is to show how throughthe use of simple experimental paradigms, of which the originality is to put boys and girls inthe role of teachers, it is possible to study how humans transmit information and what is theimpact of that transmission on our own learning processes
