The Marvelous Learning Animal: What Makes Human Behavior Unique Show Guest: Dr. Authur W. Staats What makes us human? In recent decades, researchers have focused on innate tendencies and inherited traits as explanations for human behavior. Renowned psychologist Arthur W. Staats thinks this trend is misleading and that the immensity of human learning has not been understood. In Staats newest book, THE MARVELOUS LEARNING ANIMAL, he also shares his findings on what parents can do to increase the odds that their child does not become dyslexic, a largely untreatable condition that affects a large percentage of our school children (as many as 1 in 5 students). Don't miss this insightful interview that reveals the uniqueness of our species and the immensity of our learning capabilities that we are only just beginning to understand.
