Research from the University of the Sunshine Coast has found there are widespread 'neuromyths' among early childhood educators.

The research surveyed more than 520 Australian early childhood educators in 2022 to understand neuroscience knowledge.

Professor of Education at the University of the Sunshine Coast, Kate Williams, told Dean Miller on 4BC Drive, "It's really hard to debunk some of these ingrained myths."

"Educators and parents are looking for ways to understand, you know, their young people and support them."

"So it's understandable that we're looking for these stories that might help us understand and work better with children. But unfortunately, there's just so much we don't know about the brain," Professor Williams continued.
