Abstract:
Why we learn, what we learn, what the conditions are under which we learn, how the learning happens, and what the answers to these questions imply about how we should teach are the topics of this urgent, compelling, and highly multidisciplinary book by Stanislas Dehaene. He is one of the world’s most storied and celebrated cognitive scientists and cognitive neuroscientists. Along the way, we get to enjoy some mental gymnastics concerning the joint roles of nature and nurture, a wealth of revealing and sometimes heart-wrenching individual examples, and a glimpse into the potential potency but current impoverishment of machine learning systems.
