The field of educational neuroscience uses new insights about the
neural mechanisms of learning to improve educational practices and
outcomes. The first volume to bring together the latest knowledge
on the development of educational neuroscience from a life-span
perspective, this important text offers state of the art,
authoritative research findings in educational neuroscience before
providing evidence-based recommendations for classroom practice.
Thomas, Mareschal, Dumontheil, and the team of expert international
contributors assembled in this volume thoroughly explore four main
themes throughout the book. The first theme is individual
differences, or what makes children perform better or worse in the
classroom. The second theme is the nature of individual differences
at different stages in development, from early years into
adulthood. The third theme addresses cognitive enhancement,
summarizing research that has investigated activities that might
give general benefits to cognition. And the fourth theme considers
the translation of research findings into classroom practices,
discussing broader ethical issues raised by educational
neuroscience, and what teachers need to know about neuroscience to
enhance their day-to-day practice. Specific topics explored include
neuropsychological perspectives on socioeconomic disparities in
educational achievement, reading difficulties, phonological skills,
executive function, and emotional development. Educational
Neuroscience is essential reading for researchers and graduate
students of educational psychology, developmental science,
developmental psychology, and cognitive psychology, especially
those specializing in emotion regulation.
