Education Commission of the States. 1996. Bridging the gap between neuroscience and education: Summary of a workshop. Denver, CO: Education Commission of the States, 28 pp.

Annotation: This report summarizes a workshop that brought together neuroscientists, cognitive psychologists, education researchers and practitioners, and policymakers to talk about what each sector has learned that has implications for the others' work and to explore ways to connect early brain development to strategies for improving the education of young children. The workshop was designed to lay the foundation for a continuing exchange between these groups—who normally don't work together—and to spur research on early childhood education. The report consists of presentations from the neurological field and the education field and the others' responses. A listing of workshop participants is provided at the end of the report.
