Mastering
Memory is a simple but innovative program, which runs on PC's
under Windows® and is suitable for use when a person has a
poor short-term or working memory. The program is presented in
a highly accessible, informative and entertaining format.
Mastering
memory is suitable for people with:
- dyslexia
- language disorders
- learning difficulties
- memory difficulties
- and anyone who wants to
improve their memory
By
deliberately teaching memory strategies, visual and auditory sequential
memory can be dramatically improved.The Mastering Memory Manual
includes colour plates and illustrates simple strategies to improve
memory and encourage transfer and generalisation.
Mastering Memory has been designed as a tool which under
the guidance of a therapist or teacher can be used to facilitate
strategies to:
- improve short-term memory
- enhance the capacity to
transfer information to long-term memory
- transfer new memory skills
to other situations
- Written words (describing the
pictures) .
- Colours, Shapes, Numbers
and Letters.
Mastering Memory follows a carefully graded sequence and has been
used with children and adults.
There
are two versions of Mastering Memory Children's Version: suitable
for children from 2 years - 11 years old
Complete Version
(Adult and Children's Version): suitable for secondary age students
and adults
On
screen, a sequence of pictures is presented to be remembered.
These consist of images of animals, food, transport, sport and
other items. The objects are presented visually and/or auditorially
to improve visual and/or auditory memory. The sequence, speed
and the number of pictures selected can be adjusted to suit the
aptitude of each individual. The amount of detail increases at
each level to develop observation and memory skills.
Each module has 16 alternative sets of pictures with 6 pictures
in each set. These can be used to generate over 50,000 different
sequences which can be selected by the therapist/teacher or randomly
generated by the computer.
The
program offers 3 presentation modalities to assess and develop
learning styles:
- visual
- auditory
- visual and auditory combined.
Mastering Memory makes presenting sequential memory tasks easy
for the therapist/teacher (no more sorting cards, remembering
what you told the child or timing the presentations).
The operation of the software will not tax people unfamiliar with
computers. Children will feel at ease with the system and its
application immediately.
A detailed achievement record is kept for each person. This can
be printed out and analysed or used as a record to show progress.
The
Children's Version also includes the following modules:
- The Complete Version includes
all of the above and: Signs and Symbols
- Abbreviations
- Photos
You
will need:
Windows '95 or better on PC with 2Mb of hard disc space and CD-ROM
drive. To run the program with sound and pictures a sound card
or a multi-media computer is required, otherwise it can run in
picture only format. It can be installed on any computer used
by the purchaser but needs the CD-ROM in the drive to work; it
will not run on a network.
