Why is this part of the brain so important?

We use this part of the brain in everything we do every day. 

It is our ability to understand the relationships among two or more concepts​​. Symbol Relations is like connecting pieces of the puzzle.  

 A difficulty in this area often presents itself with struggles in 

   *  comprehension 
   *  logical reasoning
   *  focus/stay on task
   *  understanding mathematical, scientific or literary concepts
   *  flexibility of thought
   *  reading a clock
   *  can appear stubborn or inflexible
   *  low working memory
   *  slow processing speed
   *  trouble with cause and effect relationships eg why things happen

Grammar and reading comprehension suffer because the relationships between elements or characters are not understood.​For many with this dysfunction, there is a constant sense of uncertainty about whether the intended meaning (while reading or listening) has been correctly understood.

THE RESEARCH


Dr. Greg Rose from Southern Illinois University presented his research at the Society for Neuroscience conference in October 2019 which showed significant changes in the brain as well as “real-world consequences” seen in students after just 6 weeks of the Cognitive Intensive Program.  View Research
