The Brain-Mind Cycle of Reflection.
Iran-Nejad, Asghar; Gregg, Madeleine
Teachers College Record, v103 n5 p868-95 Oct 2001
Discusses a theory of thinking, learning, and schooling based on developments in biofunctional cognition and the notion that the brain-awareness-mind cycle directly represents the natural course of human reflection. The paper argues that what makes this brain-mind cycle of reflection possible is intuitive self-awareness. Data from an experimental teacher education program illustrate application of this theory.
