Abstract:

It seems as though nearly every day a new headline exclaims how scientists have found the "spot" in the brain for some mental or emotional phenomenon. This brain craze has spread into education, where countless “brain-based” educational products and services are offered. How can educators separate the reasonable brain-based claims from the unreasonable claims? What does research on the brain really have to say about education?
