为方便科学教育研究人员、研究生和有志于从研究中寻找行动智慧的理科教师的工作，我们需要一个科学教育研究文献库（暂且取名为“科学教育研究精读文献清单”）。文献的量不要多，但一定要精。因此需要大家共同打造。
（教育和认知科学部分，美国著名物理教育家雷迪希教授向物理教育工作者推荐）
第二类：Redish教授推荐物理教育工作者必读的教育与认知科学论文（截止2001年）
Redish教授前言：教育从根本上来说是一个跨学科的领域，它不仅需要有关学科也就是所教科目的特殊知识，而且不能缺少有关人类行为研究众多领域的知识，这里列出的就是物理教育研究者所需的跨学科知识的书籍。
说明：这些书籍的藏处和有关中译本信息我们将陆续收集并标注出来，很需要大家的帮助。
I. Neuroscience神经科学
Books for the general public普及性书籍
1. O. Sachs, The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat: And Other Clinical Tales (Touchstone, 1998) --
A fascinating introduction to the ways the brain can "break," showing that many structures and complex processes are typically unnoticed or taken for granted by owners of healthy brains. Sacks is an excellent writer and many of his dozen or so books of case studies are worth a read.
2. V. S. Ramachandran, Phantoms in the Brain : Probing the Mysteries of the Human Mind (Harper Perennial, 1999) --
Another great read from a neurologist. Ramachandran is a specialist in phantom limbs and other disorders in which a subject misinterprets the real world -- sometimes very badly.
3. R. R. Llinas, I of the Vortex: From Neurons to Self (MIT Press, 2001) --
This ties our neural development to the evolutionary history of the neural system, giving good insight into how and why the brain came into existence and what it's critical functional elements are. (Goes a bit wildly speculative for my taste in the last chapter.)
4. Larry R. Squire and Eric R. Kandel, Memory: From Mind to Molecules (Scientific American Library, 1999) -- An introduction to neuroscience at the Scientific American level. Very readable. A good starting point.
5. J. P. Byrnes, Minds, Brains, and Education: Understanding the Psychological and Educational Relevance of Neuroscientific Research (Guilford Press, 2001) --
An overview of the basics of neuroscience and its implications for education.
Technical books 专业性书籍
1. M. S. Gazzaniga, R. B. Ivry, and G. R. Mangun, Cognitive Neuroscience (W.W. Norton, 1998) --
An introduction to neuroscience at the introductory undergraduate level.
2. E. R. Kandel, J. H. Schwartz, and T. M. Jessell, Principles of Neural Science, 4th Ed (McGraw Hill, 2000) --
The "big book" on neuroscience. The standard text on neuroscience for upper division and grad students in the field. Not as unreadable as you might guess, especially the chapters on the basics and on cognition and memory.
3. J. M. Fuster, Memory in the Cerebral Cortex: An empirical approach to neural networks in the human and nonhuman primate (MIT Press, 1999) --
A technical but good intro the the neuroscience of memory.
4. J. Fuster, Cortex and the Mind (Oxford U. Press, 2002) --
A technical but readable introduction to what is known about cognition through neuroscience. Emphasis on the relation of perception and motor control and on control structures in the prefrontal cortex.
5. P. S. Churchland and T. J. Sejwnowski, The Computational Brain (MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, 1993) --
6. T. Shallice, From Neuropsychology to Mental Structure (Cambridge U. Press, 1988) --
A technical description of how neuroscientists extract information from studies of patients with brain damage.
II. Cognitive Science 认知科学
Books for the general public普及性书籍
1. Paul Thagard, Mind: Introduction to Cognitive Sciences (MIT Press, 1998) --
A short readable overview of some of the baisc ideas in modern cog sci.
2. Howard Gardner, The Mind's New Science: A History of the Cognitive Revolution (Basic Books, 1987) --
An overview of the history of cognitive science including its relation to philosophy and computer science.
Technical books 专业性书籍
1. John R. Anderson, Cognitive Psychology and Its Implications, 5th Ed. (Worth Publishing, 1999) -- The standard text for an intro cog sci course for majors. An excellent overview and introduction.
2. A. Baddeley, Human Memory: Theory and Practice, Revised Edition (Allyn & Bacon, 1998) --
A readable introduction to the study of memory at an undergraduate level by one of the leading researchers in the field.
3. H. C. Ellis and R. R. Hunt, Fundamentals of Cognitive Psychology, 5th Edition (WCB Brown & Benchmark, 1993) --
A nice intro text for undergraduate majors in psych. Good focus on mechanism and experiment.
4. G. Fauconnier and M. Turner, How We Think: Conceptual Blending and the Mind's Hidden Complexities (Basic Books, 2003).--
A generalization of the Lakoff and Johnson theory of metaphor describing much intuitive thinking in terms of the cognitive blending of different mental spaces. Provides tools for fine-grained constructivism.
5. F. C. Bartlett, Remembering (Cambridge University Press, 1932) --
A classic study that revived and sharpened the idea of schemas with careful and interesting experiments.
6. B. Inhelder and J. Piaget, The Growth of Logical Thinking from Childhood to Adolescence (Basic Books, New York NY, 1958) --
One of the most relevant of the huge Piagetian literature for PER. Not easy reading.
7. L. S. Vygotsky, Mind in Society: The development of higher psychological process, M. Cole, V. John-Steiner, S. Scribner, and E. Souberman, Eds. (Harvard, 1978) --
An introduction to Vygotsky's writings on the role of social interactions in psychological development.
