It has helped me to look at critical thinking from a different perspective.

Thank you so much, I will consult you as I continue this study.

I fell in love with your presentation, I have this problem and I use to encounter challenges. I have interest in your presentation mostly because I am studying reading support strategies for learners with dyslexia. I suspect I am dyslexic and I want to help those children struggling to learn to read. In my country, this study is the first of its kind, if God willing I complete it.

I have this issue as an adult, how can I improve?

I know this about kids im at 21 nd i sometimes block or be slow in job xd

Hi can you help 21 years old she is development delayed?

💔🩹

She was an incredible student! Loved working with her!

Hi, my family have bought Brainware Safari version 2.5 in 2015. I didnt log in Brainware Safari version 2.5 for quite some time. Now, when I wanted to log in, I cant log in to version 2.5. I tried to log into version 3.0 and I also cant log in. How can I update to version 3.0 for free and how should I log in again?

Thanks so much for sharing some solutions. We spent a few years in occupational therapy appointments and learned that we can actually help out children at home with proper knowledge.

You know there's a song about you? It's called "Mad as Rabbits" by Panic! at the Disco. It mentions you.

Read widely, about all sorts of subjects, including great literature (Dickens, Hardy, Shakespeare, Tolstoy, etc). Well-read people expand their minds and thereby become better critical thinkers.

You can also engage more of your senses to engrain learning by copying/pasting narratives from slide presentations and highlighting key areas as the instructor goes through the presentation.

Thank you for this video today.

very good

Great interview! Makes me proud of the work I have done for and with the BrainWare Learning Company. Hats off to you Roger and Betsy!

How much is this product?

OMG... This is me. This is why it takes me so long to do things. Weeping...

how much is this?

Thank you for this wonderful video! As an adult I learned that I have slow visual processing speed. It took many years to really understand how it affects me. Your video, and explanations helped me understand how this affected my childhood and what may be done to improve learning/functioning!

Adults need this also

I appreciate this video. It often takes me long to process things at work, when I read, in cooking then I feel discouraged and like I'm not smart enough. I keep changing my approach on one task and end up taking longer than if I were to plan it in a way that is efficient. Executive function is definitely another area I struggle with. This is encouraging.

Nice video 😊. I would have liked to know how that happened to an individual or why. Is it a natural mystery or the bad health habits of parents that can cause that to someone?!

i wish the price was avaliable on the website looks really cool, i want to buy it!! hope it's not too expensive..

It's really awesome 🤩😎 my children love it

I am most like Charlie

The neuropsychology of relaxation, and a novel procedure to get relaxed and stay relaxed. Much ink has been spilled on describing the neuropsychology of stress, but very little on the neuropsychology of relaxation, which is surprisingly simple, yet has been overshadowed by its incorrect appellation as a ‘meditative’ state. Here is an explanation and novel procedure for sustaining relaxation that ironically has little to do with meditation. In a 1984 article in the flagship journal of the APA, ‘The American Psychologist’, the psychologist David Holmes reviewed the literature on meditation and concluded that meditative states are no different from resting states. The article (linked below) was roundly criticized because resting was presumably a dormant and non-affective state, quite at odds with the fact that meditation has affective and cognitive entailments that go beyond mere resting. However, from the perspective of affective neuroscience, resting states are not simple non-affective states but are dynamic affective states that are continually modulated by information derived from inner thoughts to outward perceptions. This position is not difficult to understand, and can be summarized below and easily falsified through simple procedure. A novel procedure demonstrating the continuity of rest from mindful to ‘flow’ states, quickly refutable with a good swift kick! The ideal for any scientist with a great idea is to be able to explain it in a minute, and to confirm or falsify it as quickly. The world record for this arguably goes to the English philosopher Samuel Johnson, who rejected Archbishop Berkeley’s argument that material things only exist in one’s mind by striking his foot against a large stone while proclaiming, “I refute it thusly!” Summary Endogenous opioids are induced when we eat, drink, have sex, and relax, and are responsible for our pleasures. Opioid activity however is not static, but labile, or changeable. When elicited, opioid release is always modulated by concurrently perceived novel act-outcome expectancies which may range from negative to positive. If they are negative (e.g. a spate of bad news or bad implications of our behavior), opioid activity is suppressed and our pleasures are reduced (anhedonia), but if they are positive, then opioid activity is enhanced and our pleasures are accentuated as well (peak experience, ‘flow’). This is due to dopamine-opioid interactions, or the fact that act-outcome discrepancy, or positive or negative surprises, can induce or suppress dopaminergic activity, which in turn can enhance or suppress opioid release. This can be demonstrated procedurally, and if correct, can provide a therapeutic tool to increase arousal and pleasure, or positive wellbeing. Basic Facts: Endogenous opioids are induced when we eat, drink, have sex, and relax. Their affective correlate, or how it ‘feels’, is a sense of pleasure. Fun Fact: When we are concurrently perceiving some activity that has a variable and unexpected rate of reward while consuming something pleasurable, opioid activity increases and with it a higher sense of pleasure. In other words, popcorn tastes better when we are watching an exciting movie than when we are watching paint dry. The same effect occurs when we are performing highly variable rewarding or meaningful activity (creating art, doing good deeds, doing productive work) while in a pleasurable relaxed state. (Meaning would be defined as behavior that has branching novel positive implications). This is commonly referred to as ‘flow’ or ‘peak’ experience. The same phenomenon underscores the placebo effect, which describes how expectancies can increase dopamine and opioid activity, such as when a meal is tastier or a sugar pill reduces pain when we anticipate they will. So why does this occur? Dopamine-Opioid interactions: or the fact that dopamine activity (elicited by positive novel events, and responsible for a state of arousal, but not pleasure) interacts with our pleasures (as reflected by mid brain opioid systems), and can actually stimulate opioid release, which is reflected in self-reports of greater pleasure. Proof (or kicking the stone): Just get relaxed using a relaxation protocol such as progressive muscle relaxation, eyes closed rest, or mindfulness, and then follow it by exclusively attending to or performing meaningful activity, and avoiding all meaningless activity or ‘distraction’. Keep it up and you will not only stay relaxed, but continue so with a greater sense of wellbeing or pleasure. (In other words, this is a procedural bridge between mindful and ‘flow’ experiences that are not unique psychological ‘states’, but merely represent special aspects of resting states.) The attribution of affective value to meaningful behavior makes the latter seem ‘autotelic’, or reinforcing in itself, and the resultant persistent attention to meaning crowds out the occasions we might have spent dwelling on other meaningless worries and concerns. A Likely Explanation, as if you need one! A more formal explanation from a neurologically based learning theory of this technique is provided on pp. 44-51 in a little open-source book on the psychology of rest linked below. (The flow experience discussed on pp. 81-86.) The book is based on the work of the distinguished affective neuroscientist Kent Berridge, who was kind to review for accuracy and endorse the work. From meditation to flow Affect in rest is labile, or changeable, and rest (i.e. the general deactivation of the covert musculature) is not an inert and non-affective state, but modulates affective systems in the brain. In addition, the degree of the modulation of pleasurable affect induced by rest is not dependent upon a species of attention (focal meditation, mindfulness meditation), but is ‘schedule dependent’, and correlates with the variability of schedules or contingencies of reward and the discriminative aspects of incentives (i.e. their cognitive implications). In other words, sustained meaningful activity or the anticipation of acting meaningfully during resting states increases the affective ‘tone’ or value of that behavior, thus making productive work ‘autotelic’, or rewarding in itself, and providing a consistent feeling of arousal and pleasure, or shall we say, ‘happiness’.

Great presentation and explanation of Skate Kids and Ramps to Reading. Did a great job explaining comprehension and how important working memory is for all readers. Thanks for the information!

I need help! A.D.D and severely slow processing speed with job training and maintaining steady workflow without falling behind. I’m time blind, and my hands nerves are desirable. Forgetting what steps I’m on or instructions from written notes.

Thank you very much

Not sure how old this presentation is, but the representation of sight words as "visual pictures" is erroneous and disappointing.... Since the 1980s, research has confirmed (repeatedly) that we develop sight word memory via the orthographic route through repeated decdoding, rather than learning words as pictures through repeatedly seeing the word. (See Ehri, Roberts, Kilpatrick, Sieidenberg, etc).

Just excellent ☺

I had the pleasure of participating in the webinar this afternoon while being interrupted so many times from my surroundings. I just sat through it again. I like the idea of personalizing learning for ELL students and SWDs as well. What caught my attention was the fact of understanding learner variability, fundamentals of HOW we learn, the spectrum chart of MindPrint Learner Profile, and how that data translates into an academic profile. Most importantly, you review how to choose strategies based on the products which are all evidence-based strategies. I will continue reading on this product. Thank you. Ms. Jauregui

What's the difference of raising a kid in a welfare, working, or professional class family?

Racism of low expectations. The dude who failed cause "cant afford a book" should have had the guts to talk to the prof. Prof would say "copy is available in library" Hell if the kid read the syllabus or bothered to show up, he'd have known this. The coddling is unreal. babying these students is why even NONREMEDIAL classes in community college are ABSOLUTE JOKES. Instead of having education be available, we are giving out degrees like candy. Sorry this is just so horrible Not everyone belongs in college. I don't want someone who had to basically have their hand held through college be my nurse. I hate the term snowflake, but I dont see any other explanation Employers want college degrees, because they are the new highschool degree. Highschools do everything to get kids to pass, colleges are the same. The value of degrees are being destroyed by this sorta thinking. While the cost is being pushed through the roof. I want advanced education, not courses that students don't even have to listen to the lecture, read the book, or take notes to pass. Profs just give out all the answers in "reviews" before the test. This is in A non remedial class too, a freakin joke. Learning basic maths and reading is needed before college. If they need to take a year or two after highschool going to the library after work to learn basic skills, then so be it. They don't have the advance skills because all the hand holding programs in K-12 school. They never needed to form the skills. This is all on people like you. You all did this with your ideology. Instead of meritocracy mattering. instead of inductive thinking, you pushed deductive to support ideologies. why 90% or so of college teachers have the same thoughts. So sad what yall have done. Personally I was never challenged, so my potential was snuffed out. Blood on your hands
