After setting thecognitive bases, the study addresses the performance gap by examining how mediators cancompensate for young learners whose prefrontal cortex is maturing, particularly those withimpulsivity profiles or Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Through a naturereserve learning situation implemented in Ireland, there is an examination of the impact of thevisual mediators and a subsequent improvement proposal. As an insight, the environmentdefinitely becomes an essential neuroeducational tool for educating thinking through language,optimising globalised learning and socio-emotional competence through Universal Design forLearning (UDL) and Project-Based Learning (PBL).
