ABSTRACT

Espinosa, 2011, p. 11). It is in the MBE spirit that we approach this chapter.

The purpose of this chapter is to review the support emerging from

neuroscience research for andragogy. We will not attempt to provide a

comprehensive overview of neuroscience research. Readers interested in a

more in-depth understanding of neuroscience research are encouraged to

explore references such as Glick (2011), Sousa (2011), and Tokuhama-

Espinosa (2011). Instead, we will look at both meta-findings from brain

research and findings that support each of andragogy’s core assumptions

about adult learning.
