It's not hard to find stuff about "Brain Myths" in textbooks or on the web, but t
his list of 5 myths from Scientific American is one of the most concise/clear lists I've seen. Myths covered:
- Humans use only 10% of their braim
- "Left/Right" brain people differ
- You must speak one language before learning another
- Male/Female brains differ in ways that dictate learning abilities
- Each child has a particular learning style
This quote at the end is a good caution to keep in mind whenever anyone invokes brain research to make an assertion about learning: “There is huge demand by the general public to have information about neuroscience for education. As a consequence, there's an enormous supply of totally untested, untried and not very scientific methods.”
