Confronting the Realities of Implementing Contextual Learning Ideas in a Biology Classroom
… this study was to describe the implementation of contextual learning practices in a biology class. Research contends that contextual learning classrooms are active learning environments where students are involved in "hands-on" team projects and the teacher assumes a facilitator role. In this …

Novel Roles for the Tissue Plasminogen Activator System in the Development of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and the Regulation of Contextual Learning After Stress
… in tPA activity and PAI-1 resulted in decreased contextual fear conditioning in WT and PAI-1<sup>-/-</sup> mice. Chronic stress did not affect contextual learning in the tPA<sup>-/-</sup> mice. These results suggest tPA is necessary for the synaptic plasticity cascade that causes cognitive …

Strain-dependent and age-dependent effects of acute, chronic, and withdrawal from chronic nicotine on fear conditioning.
… nicotine alters cognitive processes such as learning and memory, it remains unknown whether genetic variability modulates the effects of nicotine on these cognitive functions. Thus, the present study characterized the effects of acute, chronic, and withdrawal from chronic nicotine …

Assessing the role of the hippocampus in amygdala kindled fear : an analysis of environmental habituation
… As the hippocampus plays an integral role in contextual learning, the ability of the animals to habituate to a novel environment was evaluated, in order to determine if the rats displayed impairments in this hippocampal-dependent function. In Experiment 1, long-term kindled rats demonstrated …
