Aishah Abdul Rahman is a Lecturer / Research Scientist at the Office of Education Research at NIE and is part of the Science of Learning in Education team. She completed her Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry at the University of Alberta, Canada. Her research examines how children and adolescents regulate their thoughts, attention, actions, and emotions — processes that are referred to as executive functions and emotion regulation. Her research utilises both behavioural and neurophysiological methods, and seeks to understand the factors that influence the development of these abilities and ultimately, to design appropriate interventions to help children / adolescents who require more assistance in these domains. Aishah has taught courses on Child Development, the Neuroscience of Emotions at the undergraduate level, and also supervises undergraduate student research projects. She also engages with schools and community organisations, giving talks on the importance of executive functions, and how teachers / parents can nurture these skills in children.
