The CALM study: outcomes and practical implications

Centre for Attention, Learning, and Memory

The CALM study began in 2014 and concluded in late 2022. Join us for a day of discussing our findings.

MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit

CALM (Centre for Attention, Learning and Memory) is a research centre dedicated to comprehending how children attend, listen, and remember. Our primary goal since 2014 has been to understand how these skills impact learning from childhood to adolescence. This study wouldn&#x27;t have been possible without the support of child &amp; adolescent health and education services throughout the East of England, and the families who generously volunteered their time. It is our great pleasure to invite you to join us for a day of discussing the study&#x27;s findings. At the meeting, members of the CALM team will summarise key insights from the study covering a range of topics including the role of cognition, behaviour, brain development, and genetics in learning. We will also discuss how our findings can inform practice and policy towards building more inclusive schools. We are looking forward to hearing about your insights on what the outcomes might mean for how to ensure that children fulfil their potential and your own experiences of being involved in the study.Programme: 1﻿0am - 10.20am Registration &amp; Coffee1﻿0.20am-10.40am &quot;The CALM study: what have we learned about learning?&quot; Professor Susan Gathercole 1﻿0.40am - 11.00am &quot;Do diagnoses capture the characteristics of the CALM sample?&quot; Professor Joni Holmes1﻿1.00am - 11.20am &quot;The CALM study: what have we learned from genetics?&quot; Dr Kate Baker1﻿1.20am - 11.40am “What does someone’s brain tell us about their cognition?” Professor Duncan Astle1﻿1.40am - 12.00pm Coffee break1﻿2.00pm - 12.20pm &quot;Similar challenges, different stories&quot; Dr Silvana Mareva1﻿2.20pm- 12.40pm &quot;Teaching and learning about neurodiversity to support inclusion a school: An introduction to LEANS&quot; Dr Alyssa Alcorn1﻿2.40pm - 1.00pm Panel discussion &amp; closing remarks1﻿.00pm - 2.00pm Lunch and group photoIf you have any questions related to this event, please contact the CALM team at calm@mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk
