For The Teagle Foundation Cognition and Brain Development in Students of Traditional College - Going Age
نویسنده
چکیده
Project Parameters: This bibliography was compiled during a summer internship at the Teagle Foundation. I am a doctoral student interested in how our current understanding of brain development and cognition might be applied to writing instruction. Because of time constraints, this bibliography does not represent a comprehensive review of scholarly literature. I instead targeted literature reviews and other integrative articles on neuroscience and cognition that I found most relevant to teaching and learning on the college level. The individual neuroscience research reports included here should be considered a sample taken from a rapidly expanding field.
