How the Brain Learns
1998, David A. Sousa
4.9/5
I read this for an online class. It was good for a textbook, well-organized with plenty of visuals, and easy to understand language. There were a few opinions that didn't seem to be backed up with any fact. For example, the author suggests that hip/hop music can cause reading problems but didn't provide solid evidence. Also, the author gives the annoying piece of advice to teachers to cut "unnecessary content" from the curriculum but doesn't give any examples of things that are unnecessary. But overall, good textbook for teachers who want to understand how the brain learns, remembers, and applies information.
