The Great Brain Reforms refer to a series of educational and social changes implemented in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily in Europe and North America. These reforms aimed to improve mental health and cognitive development by promoting better teaching methods, increased access to education, and a focus on critical thinking skills. Key figures in these reforms included educators and psychologists who advocated for child-centered learning and the importance of understanding how the brain works. The movement emphasized the need for a holistic approach to education, integrating emotional and social development alongside academic achievement.
