What Do We Know from Brain Research?
Wolfe, Pat; Brandt, Ron
Educational Leadership, v56 n3 p8-13 Nov 1998
Discusses recent brain-research findings relevant for educators: the brain changes physiologically as a result of experience; IQ is not fixed at birth; some abilities are acquired more easily during certain windows of opportunity; and learning is strongly influenced by emotion. Environmental enrichment unmistakably influences the brain's growth and learning. (MLH)
