Educating The Human Brain by Michael I. Posner
This book argues that discoveries about attention, self-regulation, and brain plasticity can and should inform educational practice; it explains how distinct neural networks for alerting, orienting, and executive control develop and interact, reviews evidence that targeted training (from computer exercises to mindfulness and classroom practices) can strengthen self-regulation, and discusses how genetics, environment, and experience shape cognitive development. The author synthesizes research bridging cognitive neuroscience and classroom application, highlights practical interventions and assessment approaches that improve learning and behavior, and outlines implications for teachers, parents, and education policy aimed at fostering long-term cognitive and emotional skills.
