“Studies show that most people learn better when they interact with other people. We want to explore the biological processes that underlie interaction-based learning. We believe that this line of research will improve our understanding of long-term memory consolidation in ‘neurotypical’ brains and play a role in enhancing the learning experience for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other conditions that affect social learning,” explains Prof. Simone Shamay-Tsoory.
