Resumen:
The study aimed to step into two-person (teacherstudent) educational neuroscience. We
describe a physiological marker of cortical hemodynamic correlates involved in teacher
student interactions during performance of a classical teaching model, the Socratic dialog.
We recorded prefrontal brain activity during dialog execution simultaneously in seventeen
teacherstudent pairs using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Our main
finding is that students, who successfully transferred the knowledge, showed less activity
than those who not showed transfer. Correlation analysis between teacher and student
activity indicate that in successful educational dialogs student and teachers dance at the
same pace. This is the first study measuring simultaneously brain activity of teacher
student interactions and paves future investigations of brain networks involved in complex
educational interactions.
