Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 304 pages. Includes a new chapter that examines the latest re search demonstrating the positive impact of cognitive exercises o n students' brains, investigates the many ways that neuroplastici ty and education are now converging, and offers a list of schools in Australia and New Zealand that have embraced the Arrowsmith P rogram. The incredible story of a woman who struggled with seve re learning disabilities, built herself a better brain, and start ed a program that has helped thousands of others. Barbara Arrow smith-Young was born with severe learning disabilities that cause d teachers to label her slow, stubborn -- or worse. As a child, s he read and wrote everything backward, struggled to process conce pts in language, continually got lost, and was physically uncoord inated. She could make no sense of an analogue clock. But by rely ing on her formidable memory and iron will, she made her way to g raduate school, where she chanced upon research that inspired her to invent cognitive exercises to fix her own brain. the Woman Wh o Changed Her Brain interweaves her personal tale with riveting c ase histories from her more than thirty years of working with bot h children and adults. Recent discoveries in neuroscience have co nclusively demonstrated that, by engaging in certain mental tasks or activities, we actually change the structure of our brains-fr om the cells themselves to the connections between cells. the cap ability of nerve cells to change is known as neuroplasticity, and Arrowsmith-Young has been putting it into practice for decades. With great inventiveness, after combining two lines of research, Barbara developed unusual cognitive calisthenics that radically i ncreased the functioning of her weakened brain areas to normal an d, in some areas, even above normal levels. She drew on her intel lectual strengths to determine what types of drills were required to target the specific nature of her learning problems, and she managed to conquer her cognitive deficits.
