Making Sense of Neuroscience in the Early Years

Más información sobre el libro

Babies and young children are developing individuals with almost unlimited power to learn. Their earliest experiences shape their personalities, interests and outlook, so it is crucially important that those working with young children understand what neuroscience is and isn't telling us about this period in a child's life ... This guide to neuroscience research will help you make sense of this seemingly closed world and show you that it's not as impenetrable as it looks. Familiar topics such as communication, schemas, reading and writing are presented alongside debates about nature and nurture, sleep science and the obesity epidemic.
