In \u003ci\u003eExecutive Function, Reflection, and the Developing Brain\u003c\/i\u003e, Philip David Zelazo draws on his more than 30 years of research to explain the development of conscious control. He presents evidence that reflection and EF skills can be improved through brief interventions during the preschool years—a period of relative plasticity in the underlying neural systems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpanning multiple levels of analysis, Zelazo addresses biology, culture, computational processing, behavior, real-world outcomes, and consciousness. Viewing conscious control in terms of the developing brain, he says, suggests a new approach to early childhood education that starts with the cultivation of reflection and EF skills. It also raises the prospect of better (and earlier) identification of potential difficulties and the creation of more effective therapeutic interventions for a variety of clinical conditions that emerge in childhood.","brand":"The MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48858853409023,"sku":"9780262059909","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780262059909","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
