Are people more than just their brains?
Professors Kurt Fischer and Antonio Damasio

It might seem problematic to bring up the brain when discussing student learning—who wants a learning child to be seen as only a bunch of brain cells? The answer to that question is "no one," according to Antonio Damasio, Professor of Psychology, Neuroscience, and Neurology at the University of Southern California, and HGSE professor Kurt Fischer. In these video clips, Damasio and Fischer each address how researchers go beyond offering only biological descriptions of learning and development.
