Description
Cognitive Development and Cognitive Neuroscience: The Learning Brain is a comprehensive textbook that explores the latest research in cognitive neuroscience and its implications for teaching cognitive development. Usha Goswami builds on the framework for teaching cognitive development presented in the first edition, demonstrating how emerging data from the brain sciences require a new theoretical framework for teaching.
The book integrates principles and data from cognitive science, neuroscience, computer modelling, and studies of non-human animals to provide a model that transforms the study of cognitive development. This model is essential for students of developmental and cognitive psychology, education, language, and the learning sciences, as well as those training to work with children.
