Routledge Brain Research in Education and the Social Sciences: Implications for Practice, Parenting, and Future Society

Brain Research in Education and the Social Sciences: Implications for Practice, Parenting, and Future Society provides practitioners, parents, and policy makers with research-based information and illustrative case studies about brain development across the lifespan. Neurotechnological advances that are contributing to a broader understanding of brain development and brain illnesses are discussed in a context specifically relevant to those working in education and the social sciences. The book enables readers to understand the societal implications of this expanding knowledge base and offers suggestions for future policies and practices that would make high-quality learning environments available to all students and individuals receiving care. Review "Bergen, Schroer, and Woodin have done an exemplary job in balancing two elements critical to a book focused on brain research. First, the book maintains a superb balance of technical detail and simple explanation. Second, they effectively communicate neurotechnological advances and methodological applications for educators, parents, and policy makers. Highly recommended!" ―Lynn Cohen, Professor in the Department of Special Education and Literacy at Long Island University, USA About the Author Doris Bergen is Distinguished Professor of Educational Psychology, Emerita, at Miami University of Ohio, USA.
