Networks of Mind: Learning, Culture, Neuroscience (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This ground breaking book is unique in bringing together two perspectives on learning , sociocultural theory and neuroscience, to draw out and foreground important developments in our understanding of what learning is, where and how learning occurs and what we can do to understand learning as an everyday process.

Leading experts from both disciplines demonstrate how sociocultural ideas (such as the relevance of experience/opportunity to learn/environment, personal histories, meaning, participation, emotion and feelings of belonging, emotion and memory) align with and reflect upon new understandings emerging from neuroscience concerning plasticity and sensitive periods, mirror neurons and neural networks.
