Summary:
"In recent years, important strides have been made in realizing the potential of neuroscience to make meaningful contributions in the field of education. Educational Neuroscience presents a key reference source for students, educators, policy makers, and educational and developmental psychologists interested in bridging the gap between the biological basis of learning and the delivery of education in the classroom. An overview of the latest finding in developmental cognitive neuroscience and their possible applications to education is provided, with individual chapters written collaboratively by educationists, psychologists, and neuroscientists to ensure maximum clarity and relevance to a broad range of readers."--Back cover.
