Plasticity is the capacity of the brain to change with learning. For a long time, it was believed that beyond the age of 3 , about the time the written language model of education is introduced the con­nections in the brain became fixed. Research has shown that in fact the brain never stops chang­ing through learning. The idea that the growth of our brains is in our own hands is tremendously exciting .

    'What we learn within education , the actual content is often not what is important , what is being tested have we acquired the ability to learn - R Ackoff [Systems Science Pioneer and Wharton Business School Professor] '. Russel Ackoff the pioneer of systems science was a polymath who did not suffer fools gladly . He deserved to be a more influential figure while he lived .

    Critics argue , improving your memory promotes learning without understanding , a smart way to ace your exams without necessarily improving your mind .

    The (19th century) Ebbinghaus curve , basis of the modern learning curve , quantifies this relationship , by plotting degradation of memory over time . After 20 minutes we retain just 60% , after 60 minutes just 40% is retained . After 24 hours between 70 – 80% of detailed information is lost. In this updated plot the curve has been modified , in Ebbinghaus original experiment he used a limited number of isolated elements , testing pure memory .The modern curve , depicts a slight upturn ,reflecting a brief period of consolidation , where connections are made , information is boiled down , reflected upon and applied , then fitted to an existing cognitive model .The brevity of the consolidation period is the reason why rote and repetition breaks down . These are your limitations , the straight jacket that constrains all education and training .Redrawing these curves the curves , that exams/training measure ,this is what we will do for you , this is Einsteins trigger .

    WAIS DIGIT SPAN - FREE TRIAL LIMITED RESOURCE 10 DAYS

    Memory has an associated IQ , lets call it the memory quotient , in standardized tests , scores are read across and a correlation with full IQ based on empirical evidence inferred , that IQ/MQ is measured by the WAIS Digit Span . The cost of professional reliable psychometics is 69.99 per annum . Institutional users / continuing assessment [ less than 125 clients] 129.99 per annum. If you plan on running more than 100 assessments per annum please contact us

    Free Trial Automated WAIS DIGIT SPAN . professional benchmarking tool for assessing working memory span . The DS can be used as a simple KAWISHIMA DS style brain trainer [register for details ]

    The Digit Span software was conceived as a reliable ,effective , age neutral assessment and training tool . The forcing of memory taxes concentration and sequential memory , scoring the test provides simple reliable and accurate feedback . The addition of a character sets added method . That method can be applied inside a controlled environment with compressed feedback loops , which is great for accelerating learning


    Developers Note

    Let me make this clear , I did'nt think for one minute , I had a problem with memory , my memory was I believed excellent .I could remember pages of text word for word and had reproduced those notes in exams under pressure many , many times , but I reasoned good should not be the enemy of great . After all I have seen people who can count into entire decks of cards inside a minute ,I could not do that , nobody I knew could do that . As a feat of memory it was mightily impressive , as a former law student I knew the value .

    On deeper reflection my memory turned out to be photo recall , it was capacity limited , slow and inflexible . I couldn't just read edit and store . I needed to take notes then mentally photograph those notes . I wasn't a great listener . I got bored quickly . If you didn't get to the point I had a tendency to lose concentration . My own sub vocalized thoughts tended to crowd out new information , sequences were easily broken .

    Based on a psychometric training and benchmarking tool developed by George MIllers in his 1956 Paper the Magic Number Seven. The significance of the magic number seven is that it benchmarks how many competing concepts we can hold in one context at one time limiting the gradient of our learning curves. Through automation and configuration of this tool fast and slow rhythm's can be programmed into your learning cycles. This tool is highly configurable , through character sets , numeric and phonetic , by directionality forward and reverse , by modality visual , audio , multi sensory , by time intervals and starting point .

    For a fee you can elect to have the test scored by email , we will tell you what the associated IQ is and what percentile of the population you fall within , plus we will provide details of a the simple transferable technique that will turn the DS into a memory trainer and should with patience and practice allow you to score off the charts , in excess of 164 IQ equivalence .

    TESTIMONIALS

    Thomas G West brings to life fascinating capacities and syndromes that arise from visual spatial thought . His book IN THE MINDS EYE - OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC TITLE CHOICE - proves beyond doubt we are not all points on a single bell curve of intelligence

    HOWARD GARDNER PHD author of Multiple Intelligence Theory

    Conventional ways of teaching and learning do not always reach all students .In fact we are overlooking some of societies most creative minds by failing to understand and develop materials which speak to the unique strenghts of those who see the world from a different perspective

    CHARLES R SWAB

    Not only a legitimate way to solve problems but a superior way , some of the best minds work this way . So lets join the dyslexics and autistic s and use images instead of words and in the process lets get a little closer to the 21st Century minds that have changed our world
