Bridging the gap between the lab and the classroom: An online citizen science project with teachers aiming at improving inhibitory control of school-age children.
Keyword(s):
Online citizen science allows to bridge the gap between researchers and non-researchers and to improve scientific literacy of non-researchers. The aim of the present study was to determine whether a 5-week randomized control trial conducted by the teachers in their classroom could improve 6 to 12-year-old children’s inhibitory control (IC). As expected, children in the IC training group improved their IC efficiency to a greater extent than children in the control training group. We provided the first evidence that such online science project can be effective to improve children’s IC abilities and bridge the gap between the lab and the classroom.
