In an era of intense interest in educational reform, spurred by
increasing global competition for jobs and advancement, it is more
critical than ever to understand the nature of learning. And
although much attention is paid to differences between learners,
short shrift is often given to cognitive functions that
characterize successful learning for all students. Yet these are
the very functions that determine the difference between successful
and rewarding learning versus merely "doing" without truly
learning. Firmly grounded in the principles of neuropsychology,
Beyond Individual Differences analyzes both successful and
unproductive learning in terms of the brain's organizing processes
- that is, its unconscious sifting, selecting, and meaning-making
that enable students to incorporate and build on what they've
learned in the past. At the same time, it explores the learning
situations that cause organization to break down and offers several
preventive strategies. Key areas of coverage include: The complex
role of mental organization in learning and education. Specific
organizing processes and the links to success or failure in
learning. Information/cognitive overload. The student's experience
of learning and its impact on development. Accommodating a range of
individual differences in the classroom. Practices for supporting
students' unconscious organizing processes. Beyond Individual
Differences is essential reading for a wide range of professionals
and policy makers as well as researchers and graduate students in
school and clinical child psychology, special and general
education, social work and school counseling, speech therapy, and
neuropsychology.
