as babies learn and develop their cognitive ability, how you engage with them will affect how he or she learns because that is how they learn to react to words.

Studies show that when a baby is in an environment where people talk to him or her a lot, then he or she will develop her ability to speak and other cognitive abilities at a faster pace. To…

Devyn’s cognitive abilities were assessed with the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V). The areas of cognitive processing ability measured include crystallized intelligence, short-term memory, visual-spatial processing, reasoning ability, and processing speed. The subtests measured different cognitive processing abilities and when combined form five index scores: Verbal Comprehension, Visual-Spatial, Fluid Reasoning, Working Memory and Processing Speed, which makes up the…

and engage with language for the purpose of communication, education, self-awareness and for a sense of belonging. Cognitive development is the result of language acquisition. Without cognition, a child would fail to thrive. Cognition…

Creative Histories Presentation History is a narrative of human experience, written retrospectively.

Distracted and confused: Selective attention under load According to this article, Distracted and confused?: Selective attention under load, it is important to focus on goal-relevant stimuli when interfering distractors can make cognitive functions difficult (Lavie, 2005). Many individuals experience disruptions in their daily tasks, but it is not sufficient to simply ignore any stimuli that is irrelevant. This author stated that there was a longstanding debate as to whether focusing on…

on a different spot from the usual would make one think twice about their location.

The experiment, developed by John Ridley Stroop in 1935, consisted of tasks, in which subjects were to name the color with the word, whether they were matching or not. The time…

validity of the testing results and information disclosed during the clinical interview. There does not appear to be a cause for concern for Mr. Moreno’s learning or memory abilities at this time. Mr. Moreno was administered the WTAR. Mr. Moreno’s cognitive outcomes were stable and average in performance. The estimate of Mr. Moreno’s premorbid Full-Scale IQ was 84 plus or minus 15 points or likely falling in the Low Average Range in the 14-percentile range. Mr. Moreno’s scores on the…

when planning and preparing as good teachers we will include strategies and activities which will keep their minds occupied, focused and busy.
