Brain Science with Ginger Campbell, MD: Neuroscience for Everyone

BS 145 The Reading Brain with Maryanne Wolf

25 May 2018

Description

BS 145 celebrates the return of Dr. Maryanne Wolf who was featured back in BSP 29 when we talked about her bestseller Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain. In this episode we talk about her recent book Tales of Literacy for the 21st Century. Our focus is two-fold. First we consider the implications of the fact that while language is acquired naturally, reading is a cultural invention that must be taught. Second, we explore how the brain is changed by reading and consider the consequences of the shift toward digital media. This is a thought provoking conversation that will interest listeners of all backgrounds. For complete show notes and episode transcripts, please visit http://brainsciencepodcast.com.
