Description:
Changing Brains is an educational DVD program for
anyone involved in child rearing, from parents to teachers to
policy-makers. Created for non-scientists, Changing Brains features
information and practical recommendations based on scientific evidence
regarding cognitive development as a child grows. Viewers learn about the
brain, how it develops, the methods used to study its structures and function,
and how experience shapes the brain. Every
statement that is made is supported by evidence from solid scientific studies
and each segment includes a mention of the brain functions and structures that
underlie different aspects of human behavior and cognition.
Changing Brains is divided into nine segments on the
role brain development plays in: vision, hearing, motor skills, attention,
language, reading, math, music, and emotions and learning. Separate
sections on the DVD list references to the studies cited and websites with
further information on each topic.
