The Praeger Handbook of Learning And the Brain, Vol. 1: A-L

Nearly 100 entries describe current brain research as it relates to education and the relationship between the brain and learning and instructional strategies is examined. Over 100 authors, many of whom are leaders in their field, contribute to this work covering the cognitive, social/emotional, and physical aspects of learning as the brain develops. Topics cover the following areas: brain development, learning, curriculum, at-risk, classroom management, culture, emotion, foods, intelligence, learning environments, learning challenges, learning theories, and physical movement. Focus is on K-12 education, but also includes information on the pre-school and adult learner. Cross references and recommended further readings conclude each entry. Supplemental reference sources include a glossary devoted to the brain and an extensive bibliography.
