Human Behavior, Learning, and the Developing Brain Typical Development

"An insightful, data-driven book connecting the fields of brain development, cognitive processing, and behavioral science....The book is well organized and user-friendly....A highlight of the book is a three-page section of small, but impressive, colored pictures of magnetic resonance imaging results detailing brain regions and correlated functions, different development changes coinciding with learning, and brain activation during auditory and visual tasks....Moreover, most chapter authors include basic descriptions and definitions of concepts from developmental neuropsychology, as well as describe neuroimaging techniques. This makes the book challenging and appropriate for graduate students who are interested in the neurosciences but who have had limited training in neuropsychology. Overall, the scope of the content covered in the volume is broad rather than narrow, promoting a foundational knowledge base for those interested in the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to educational neuroscience....The book provides an important service to researchers, detailing the need for future study of this potentially imperative connection between the sciences....This volume is a great starting point for future research."-- Archives of Clinical NeuropsychologyCoch, Donna is the author of 'Human Behavior, Learning, and the Developing Brain Typical Development', published 2007 under ISBN 9781593851361 and ISBN 1593851367.
