Memory & Comprehension

Unlike lesson strategies, or neumonic devices that rely on rote responses, Learning Breakthrough improves root-level brain processing on a bio-physiological level. It has a profound impact on neural network development and the brain's recall efficiency. This dramtically impacts memory and information retrieval...developing a foundation on which all educational approaches can benefit.

Memory refers to the mental faculty of retaining and recalling past experience. Comprehension refers to contextualizing and understanding what you read or hear. These two concepts are closely intertwined and together form the creation and recall of mental images. Mental images are awakened by the words we read and hear and are critical to organizing thoughts and concepts that affect all higher level learning strategies. Solid comprehension is a life skill necessary for professional as well as personal growth.

When someone reads aloud poorly it can be clearly observed by listeners. Unfortunately, there is nothing to see or hear when an individual has problems creating the mental images that enable them to keep up with the speed of reading or listening. Word recognition skills, phonic awareness, vocabulary acquisition, reading comprehension and memory functions are all profoundly impacted by Learning Breakthrough use. The Learning Breakthrough Program weaves these cognitive acquisition processes together into a cohesive, fun and entertaining program that users actually enjoy.

The Learning Breakthrough Program uses balance and sensory development to increase the amount or neuron activity applied to any given task thereby increasing brain efficiency and addressing memory on a truly foundational level. Mnemonic devices are memory triggers (e.g.- using the shapes of the states in order to recall the names of their capital cities). The Learning Breakthrough Program activities work not on the triggers or rote tricks that help us remember, but the highways on which those triggers eventually operate.
