Presentation by Dr Adele Diamond, "Interrelations of Executive Functions with Emotional, Social, and Physical Well-Being: How can we Help More Children Thrive?"

This talk will invite you to think outside the box and question some of the things you thought you knew about how to improve thinking, reasoning, or self-control. It will invite you to see the whole person (mind and body, intellect and emotions) as fundamentally interrelated. It will look at different approaches to improving cognition such a computerized training, neurofeedback, physical activity, and mindfulness. It will look at the roles of stress, pride, hope, shame, and a sense of belonging in cognitive performance.
