Educating the Human Brain is the product of a quarter century of
research. This book provides an empirical account of the early
development of attention and self regulation in infants and young
children. It examines the brain areas involved in regulatory
networks, their connectivity, and how their development is
influenced by genes and experience. Relying on the latest
techniques in cognitive and temperament measurement, neuroimaging,
and molecular genetics, the book integrates research on neural
networks common to all of us with studies of individual
differences. In this book, the authors explain where, when, and how
the brain performs functions that are necessary for learning. Such
functions include attending to information; controlling attention
through effort; regulating the interplay of emotion with cognition;
and coding, organizing, and retrieving information. The authors
suggest how these aspects of brain development can support school
readiness, literacy, numeracy, and expertise. The audience for this
book includes neuroscientists as well as developmental and
educational psychologists who have interest in the latest brain
research. The many helpful visuals - including brain diagrams,
pictures and photographs of experimental setups, and graphs and
tables displaying key data - also give this book appeal for
graduate students.
