Synopsis

Cognitive development and learning

About this title

From the Back Cover

This book uses practical applications and an accessible writing style to present a summary of psychological research on students' learning of academic subject areas.

The text is organized into two main sections: the general principles of learning, memory, higher-order thinking, and motivation that apply to any school-related skill and specific developmental trends in the acquisition of skills in the areas of reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies. Unlike typical books on cognitive development, these general principles are explicitly translated to classroom practice. The reader will learn what children can understand and do at various ages in these domains.
