Memory
and concentration training
Sharp focus of attention is the “golden gate” to effective understanding and remembering of everything we learn. Unfortunately, nowadays, children, adolescents and adults seem to lose the ability to focus on the text being read or the message being heard for more than a few seconds.
Interestingly, scientific knowledge about how the brain functions and about the mechanisms of memory and attention is growing. At the same time, more and more people are unable to use these functions to learn effectively. As researchers of cognitive processes and enthusiasts of building bridges between science and practice, we have prepared this training to popularize reliable and up-to-date knowledge of the brain and cognitive training, to (1) provide psychologists, educators, teachers and parents with tools to train memory and concentration of attention in their pupils and (2) teach people who want to improve these functions at home to use this knowledge and tools.
After completing the training you will:
- differentiate memory systems and processes , giving the specificity of their functions;
- know and use the psychological methods of memory improvement;
- define what cognitive training is and explain its potential mechanisms;
- know and use the methods of supporting memory
- plan and supervise memory and attentional training with the use of available computer programs;
- use techniques to increase and maintain motivation to train;
- have an up-to-date knowledge of the effectiveness of cognitive training.
