Inside the Brain of a Five-Year-Old

Available for over a year

Claudia Hammond investigates the latest research into the working of the five year old brain. She wonders whether the latest developments in neuroscience might have an application in the classroom. Could a deeper understanding of brain development help educationalists get better results? If so - how can teachers separate the brain fact from so much of the brain fiction which seems to be out there? Producer: Alexandra Feachem First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in March 2010.
