A must-read review. It argues that brain areas are only one of several organizing principles and are not especially central, given their weak correspondence to function. Cytoarchitecture and connectivity are a starting point, not the endpoint.

I dislike the term: "check *for* understanding".
It's as if there is an understanding "out there", and students must "store" it. Teachers check if they have "stored" it correctly.
"Check understanding" is better. Students are meaning makers. We must check the meanings they've made.

The great trumph of EduCognitivists has been convincing everyone that there is only one cognitive science in town.
Classical cognitive science may be all the talk in education, but it isn't in the field of cogsci.
Instead, teachers need to hear more about enactive cognitive science.

I blogged a more detailed review of this paper. Overall I like the approach, but the paper needs to take care not to oversell what it is currently capable of doing (it IS reformulating memory in an ecologically tractable way, but it is NOT currently a demonstrated viable alternative)
