Medicine, and particularly neuroscience, appears to offer the kind of educational quick fixes that politicians and the public would love to have. Following media reports of drugs that seemingly improve learning and memory, Turner examines commonly held beliefs about learning, knowledge and intelligence, and critically assesses such claims. Using the Medical Model in Education moves beyond the immediate, fashionable or any specific substance, to a deeper examination of what society does or should expect, in terms of results, from the educational system.
