内容説明

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.

Introduction Why is neuroscience relevant to education? An introduction to brain and cognitive development - the key concepts you need to know Development and variation: Nature vs. Nature What has behavioral genetic research told us about the origins of individual differences in educational abilities and achievements? Socioeconomic disparities in achievement: Insights on neurocognitive development and educational interventions Discipline-specific abilities: literacy, numeracy, and science Neuroscience in reading and reading difficulties Reading acquisition and developmental dyslexia: Educational neuroscience and phonological skills Sources of variability in mathematical development Lifespan conceptual development in science: brain and behaviour Discipline-general abilities: executive functions, social and affective development The development of executive functions in childhood and adolescence and their relation to school performance Understanding emotional thought can transform educators' understanding of how students learn Leading methods for cognitive enhancement Action video games: from effects on cognition and the brain to potential educational applications Mindfulness and executive function: Implications for learning and early childhood education The neuroscience of sleep and its relation to educational outcomes The effectiveness of aerobic exercise for improving educational outcomes The cognitive benefits and disadvantages of bilingualism across the lifespan and implications for education Music training, individual differences, and plasticity Into the classroom Towards a science of teaching and learning for teacher education Educational neuroscience: ethical perspectives Educational neuroscience: so what does it mean in the classroom?
