Cognitive Techniques for Learning explores how targeted cognitive training can significantly enhance learning abilities, especially for individuals with cognitive disabilities. Challenging the assumption that cognitive limitations are fixed, the book demonstrates how techniques rooted in cognitive psychology can improve memory enhancement, attention regulation, and problem-solving strategies, which are all essential for effective and inclusive learning experiences. Did you know that structured cognitive training, when tailored to individual needs, can lead to measurable improvements in cognitive abilities? Or that personalized cognitive training allows for the tailoring of training programs to meet specific needs?
The book begins with foundational knowledge of cognitive disabilities and relevant cognitive psychology theories. Progressing through chapters dedicated to attention, memory, and executive functions, it examines specific training techniques, like mnemonic strategies and errorless learning. It culminates in integrative approaches for comprehensive learning programs and guidance for educators, therapists, and caregivers.
This book uniquely emphasizes personalized cognitive training and a data-driven approach to identifying individual cognitive strengths and weaknesses. Drawing upon extensive research and case studies, the book provides a rigorous, evidence-based foundation for its recommendations. The material connects to education, rehabilitation science, and neuroscience, providing insights into inclusive teaching practices and how the brain adapts to targeted interventions.
By focusing on practical, evidence-based strategies, Cognitive Techniques for Learning aims to empower educators and caregivers with tools to improve learning outcomes.
