ABSTRACT
The neuropsychological basis of learning and behaviour provides a scientific understanding of how brain structures and cognitive processes influence students’ academic performance and behavioural patterns. This paper explores the relationship between neural functioning, cognitive development, and behavioural responses in educational settings. It highlights the role of key brain regions such as the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and amygdala in shaping memory, attention, emotional regulation, and decision-making. The study also examines how neurodevelopmental factors, environmental stimuli, and individual differences contribute to learning outcomes. Furthermore, it discusses the implications of neuropsychology in classroom practices, including differentiated instruction, behavioural interventions, and inclusive education. Understanding these mechanisms enables educators to design effective teaching strategies that align with students’ cognitive and emotional needs. The paper concludes that integrating neuropsychological insights into pedagogy enhances both learning efficiency and behavioural management in students.
