SMART MOVES: Why Learning Is Not All In Your Head
by Hannaford, Carla
ISBN: 0915556278
Publisher: Great River Books
Neurophysiologist and educator Dr. Carla Hannaford brings insights from scientific research to questions that affect learners of all ages. How is the body involved in learning, from infancy right through adulthood? Why is movement so important to learning, and what is the effect of traditional educational practices that ignore this crucial link? What do we really know about the neurological effects of TV, of different foods, of environmental factors, and what should we do about it? What is causing the growing plague of learning disabilities, and what can be done to help children and adults with these problems? What activities that we can actually put into practice right now can make a real difference in our ability to learn -- at any age?
