Overview

Cognitive processing speed (PS) has been understudied, compared to other areas of cognition and learning. While experts recognize plasticity in other areas of brain function, some have maintained that PS cannot be targeted and improved beyond innate biological assignment.

The view that PS is static negatively impacts the way parents and educators interact with slow processors, and further, it impacts the expectations set for these learners. If, however, PS is recognized as malleable, then educators, clinicians, and parents should intentionally build instructional strategies and mediational techniques around a dynamic view of PS, and IQ in general.

This workshop will explore a recent study that compared pre-intervention and post-intervention PS scores from students who participated in FIE and NILD cognitive intervention, along with the therapy protocols that may help to improve PS.
