The neurological and cognitive sciences are becoming ever more important to educational research... or so we are told. Is this statement really true? A bibliometric study conducted by the Rathenau Institute revealed that it is not: there is very little connection between the two fields. The rapid growth of cognitive science has indeed raised calls for a new research agenda for educational science, but those calls have as yet gone unheeded.
This study was conducted at the request of the KNAW Regenerative Medicine Review Committee. The results formed input for the committee's final report which was published in late 2009. The Rathenau Institute also published its own comprehensive report.
