[MACEP] Brain science for educators and parents

[David Moursund]

I have just completed my latest book, Brain Science for Educators and Parents. It is available free on the Web at http://iae-pedia.org/Brain_Science <http://iae-pedia.org/Brain_Science> . The book is for preservice and inservice teachers, teachers of teachers, and parents of school-age children.

The ten chapters cover a wide range of topics, including:

•      Human and computer intelligence.

•      IQ and cognitive development.

•      Cognitive development.

•      Mythologies about the human brain. (You may be surprised by some things that you believe are “facts,” but aren’t.)

•      Creativity, curiosity, commitment, and critical thinking.

•      Brain disorders and damage, including dyslexia, dyscalculia, and concussion.

•      Long-term, short-term, and sensory memory.

•      Neuroplasticity—the changing brain.

•      The teenage brain.

•      The aging brain.

·      Consciousness, free will, hypnosis.

·      Roles/uses of computers in all of the above.
