 How your child's brain learns May 6, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Two experts review what scientists have discovered about how the brain learns - in infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. The authors discuss the pros and cons of hot-housing, different ways to learn to read and write, and how the brain changes, not just in early childhood but throughout life. The research is explained clearly and succinctly - even a non-expert can understand.
Train the brain December 11, 2005
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is the first book I've read that explains how the brain learns. It was clear and understandable even though I am not a scientist. I learned a lot about how to train the adult brain, and there were tips on how to improve your brain. For example, I didn't know that the brain lays down memories when you are asleep - and recent brain research has shown that even an afternoon nap improves memory. I would recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in the human brain.
