The emotional basis of learning

This was an article in the readings for this class. The author was Noboru Kobayashi, M.D.
and the article was titled The Emotional Basis of Learning.
This was a very interesting article. It spoke of biological programs: brain and body functions, and where and how they develop. The author is a credible source, and says that although we are born with certain programs, that it is the interaction with the environment around us that stimulates these programs. Environment is key to development.
The author is saying that if you deprive a child of emotional support, then you are depriving that child from fully developing.
I like what he was saying is correct. Children need an emotionally rich and positive environment to be able to learn better and achieve in life.
