Kalina Christoff's article summarizes recent neurobiological findings by Immordino-Yang. She discusses the implivations of Immordino-Yang's research results. While emphasizing their significance, she also voices concerns about the potential for abuse and inappropriate uses.

How should theories of neurological plasticity be incorporated into pedagogy? The community of teachers of writing have embraced a process centered approach with some sucess. However, science teachers have not followed in their exact foot steps. A process-centered approach to science education does not currently consider a diversity of problem solving strategies. At least, this has not been my experience in science courses. Often times, my attempt to solve a problem has been deemed completely incorrect or unintelligible by my professors.
