Early Childhood and Neuroscience

By Mine Conkbayir (Bloomsbury, £17.99)

Written specifically for the early years sector, this practical guide translates the complex subject of neuroscience for practitioners and distils its implications for practice. It is also practical, for example using neuroscience to inform planning of enabling learning environments, with specific discussions on modern issues including developing language in a digital age. Main terms and theories are explained via case studies, with a glossary of key terms, suggestions for further reading and reflective discussion questions.
