How Children Learn
- Synopsis
- An introduction to cognitive learning theory, focusing on the importance of early childhood experiences in preparing children for school learning. Summarises much of what is currently known about learning from brain research, the study of cognitive development, and contemporary educational practice. Uses real-life examples of learning inside and outside schools, making the point that learning is as basic a human activity as breathing or eating. The interaction of experience and brain development is illustrated with close-ups of networking neurons. Factors that influence educational success are presented in models reflecting the work of Erik Erikson, Jean Piaget, and Leve Vygotsky.
