What makes people learn effectively? What can we do to promote more effective learning?Innumerable researchers have studied these important and urgent questions, yet their findings tend to be fragmentary and disparate.

Learning with the Brain in Mind explores recent findings in neuroscience and combines them with learning theory in three crucial and interconnected ways: attention, emotions, and memory. McNeil explains how attention is the foundation for intellectual development as part of an essential survival strategy, how emotional relationships are the basis for brain growth and the acquisition of cognitive and social skills, and how memory has important influences on the sense of self and therefore on learning. The book provides:

• Evidence of the controversial...
