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.
