Hello and welcome to the 5th episode of the Bristol men in early years podcast. Today we’re joined by Professor of Cognitive Neuroimaging, Dr Gina Rippon. We cover a range of topics including: the impact of the environment shaping our neurology, the problem with the claims of pre-socialisation studies - that is studies that claim to measure behaviours prior to social learning. Naturally we go onto discussing the importance of brain development in the Early Years, the importance of toys, reading in the early years, how the gender binary is far too simple a model and how the differences between Sexes are often smaller than within them.
