A Mind at a Time
BOOK REVIEW (Davidson Institute) - Are you interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the learning process? If so,
A Mind at a Time
by Dr. Mel Levine is just the book you are looking for! Based on years of experience as a developmental-behavioral pediatrician and director of the Clinical Center for the Study of Development and Learning at the University of North Carolina Medical School, Dr. Levine has developed his own model that dissects the learning process into eight neurodevelopmental systems: attention control, memory, language, spatial ordering, sequential ordering, motor, higher thinking, and social thinking. His theory is that struggling students are experiencing a breakdown in one or more of these areas.
Support Materials: Interviews
