Mary Helen Immordino-Yang, EdD, associate professor of education, psychology, and neuroscience at the Brain and Creativity Institute and Rossier School of Education, University of Southern California, lives in Los Angeles.
<em>Emotions, Learning, and the Brain</em> provides a comprehensive review of the latest research in neuroscience, which demonstrates the power of emotions in learning in every setting, from the classroom to digital environments. For decades, experimentation by psychologists has shown that emotions matter in the classroom and matter a great deal. Immordino-Yang strengthens that evidence base with a deeper understanding of the mechanisms behind it, helping explain the critical links between emotions and learning. --Marc A.
