Black Cabs and Memory Magic

One of the things we know in our practice is - how to improve a student’s ability to do maths, read and become a better learner on the way.

The importance of cognitive skills such as memory, attention, processing and sequencing is fundamental to being able to study. (We PRIORITISE this)

And a good memory is the turbo-charge for taking in information accurately and efficiently (also known as processing).

A poor memory negatively affects attention, because it’s very tiring for a student to try to retain that information.

Poor memory lowers test scores? 
Try doing multiple choice! 
The strain on a student shows when all of their application is in trying to remember the problem 
(and the students with better memory skills race ahead).

And more.

But memory can be improved; ask 
A London Black Cab driver
A musician
A neuroscientist.

Joyce will break it all down for you. 

So you can start your child on a journey to developing a good memory, become a good student and be better able to follow instructions.

Reply with “working memory” in the text and I will send you the details of the workshop..
