Did you know that virtually every aspect of the development of the human brain is shaped by experience? Imagine how beneficial it would be if everyone who cares for children knew something about how and when experience shapes the development of the brain. Imagine how beneficial it would be if every claim that is made about how to best care for children were backed up by solid scientific evidence. Changing Brains is a science program for non-scientists, featuring information and practical recommendations based on scientific evidence for parents, educators, and policy makers... anyone who cares for children. In this video you learn about the brain, how it develops, the methods used to study its structures and function, and how experience shapes the brain systems important for: VISION, HEARING, MOTOR SKILLS, ATTENTION, LANGUAGE, READING, MATH, MUSIC, EMOTIONS and LEARNING.
