Apprendere l'intelligenza : il pensiero di Reuven Feuerstein alla luce delle neuroscienze cognitive
Year: 2012
Type: dissertation
Abstract: The central topic of the thesis is the comparison between the work of Reuven Feuerstein, that is Structural Cognitive modifiability and Mediated Learning Experience, and the neuroscientific research. By this comparison I evaluated the merits and flaws of Feuerstein's theories, and I also revised such theories according to neuroscientific studies. Moreover, I questioned the meaning of learning and cognition, re-thinking them in the light of intelligence modifiability.\nThe thesis goes on with a reflection upon the epistemological stance of neuroscience, aimed at solving the nature/nurture dualism in learning. Brain plasticity binds learning to biology, that is to say, those processes that are at the core of neural flexibility and change, also enable cognition. Therefore, brain plasticity as the basis for the mind, which, despite genetic constraints, remains open to experience.
