Description
This groundbreaking book reviews what we really know about how and when the brain learns, with implications for educational policy and practice. Written by two leading authorities in the field, it offers an accessible overview of current knowledge.
The authors draw out the practical applications of this understanding, covering studies on learning throughout development, including adulthood. They also explore what can be learned from brain research about children with learning difficulties, and how this can inform remedial education.
