The importance of Memory, Attention, Processing and Sequencing in Learning.

We have developed our own method Learning MAPs™: Memory, Attention, Processing and Sequencing, to improve the essential cognitive processes that a student needs for reading and learning.

Improved Memory

We assist students to improve their working memory. This provides them the capacity to retain information for a short time, while actively processing or working with it. Users report improved working memory, moving their scores higher into the average range, and showing significantly greater improvements than the comparison group

Attention

Focused and sustained attention provide the ability to concentrate on a task without being distracted. On average, Fast ForWord users show major improvements in attention and focus.

Processing Skills

Auditory processing skills, including the ability to discriminate the fast changes that distinguish

many phonemes, provide the foundation for acquiring strong verbal language skills and for

learning to read. After using the Fast ForWord Language product, on average, users move well into the average auditory processing range in both quiet and noisy conditions.

SEQUENCING This is a cognitive skill that relies on memory, attention and processing and is essential for phonics, word fluency, reading and oral comprehension. Sequencing places information in a logical order which in turn allows for improved memory attention and processing. For more information click here

 

These skills help children to have several strong outcomes including, phonological memory, improved sentence memory and word discrimination as well as higher attention levels in class and at home, greater ability to remember and carry out instructions, better auditory processing and higher self confidence and self esteem.

"It has opened our eyes to what technology and brain research can do."
