As a research neuroscientist, Lise Eliot has made the study of the human brain her life's work. But it wasn't until she was pregnant with her first child that she became intrigued with the study of brain development. She wanted to know precisely how the baby's brain is formed, and when and how each sense, skill, and cognitive ability is developed. And just as important, she was interested in finding out how her role as a nurturer can affect this complex process. How much of her baby's development is genetically ordained--and how much is determined by environment? Is there anything parents can do to make their babies' brains work better--to help them become smarter, happier people? Drawing upon the exploding research in this field as well as the stories of real children, What's Going On in There? is a lively and thought-provoking book that charts the brain's development from conception through the critical first five years. In examining the many factors that play crucial roles in that process, What's Going On in There? explores the evolution of the senses, motor skills, social and emotional behaviors, and mental functions such as attention, language, memory, reasoning, and intelligence. This remarkable book also discusses:
how a baby's brain is "assembled" from scratch
the critical prenatal factors that shapebrain development
how the birthing process itself affects the brain
which forms of stimulation are most effective at promoting cognitive development
how boys' and girls' brains develop differently
how nutrition, stress, and other physical and social factors can permanently affect a child's brain
Brilliantly blending cutting-edge science with a mother's wisdom and insight, What's Going On in There? is an invaluable contribution to the nature versus nurture debate. Children's development is determined both by the genes they are born with and the richness of their early environment. This timely and important book shows parents the innumerable ways in which they can actually help their children grow better brains.

虽然实操性不强,但书中关于大脑的发育过程还是很有意思

内容很丰富,能学到很多大脑发展的内容。不过和emily oster的书相比较,观点有些绝对(比如关于母乳喂养)

有趣,硬核。nature和nurture在脑发育的各个方面都很重要,所以不要太焦虑,毕竟有些方面已经天注定;也不能放弃,毕竟培养还是有用的。听了Genie Wiley的故事心都碎了,又找了histories and mysteries的podcast来听,怎么会有人这样虐待婴儿呢

很好。 最父母要有耐心,要多学习。 先天和后天对孩子智力的影响大约各占50%。

基本该当作学术书籍读,没什么实操性。(当然我认为这是优点。)一位作者不可能对书籍所覆盖的所有领域都熟悉,引用的学术研究有些质量很高也有些质量不高。适合有批判性思维的父母读。
