Summary

Cognitive Techniques for Learning explores how targeted cognitive training can significantly enhance learning abilities, especially for individuals with cognitive disabilities. Challenging the assumption that cognitive limitations are fixed, the book demonstrates how techniques rooted in cognitive psychology can improve memory enhancement, attention regulation, and problem-solving strategies, which are all essential for effective and inclusive learning experiences. Did you know that structured cognitive training, when tailored to individual needs, can lead to measurable improvements in cognitive abilities? Or that personalized cognitive training allows for the tailoring of training programs to meet specific needs?

The book begins with foundational knowledge of cognitive disabilities and relevant cognitive psychology theories. Progressing through chapters dedicated to attention, memory, and executive functions, it examines specific training techniques, like mnemonic strategies and errorless learning. It culminates in integrative approaches for comprehensive learning programs and guidance for educators, therapists, and caregivers.

This book uniquely emphasizes personalized cognitive training and a data-driven approach to identifying individual cognitive strengths and weaknesses. Drawing upon extensive research and case studies, the book provides a rigorous, evidence-based foundation for its recommendations. The material connects to education, rehabilitation science, and neuroscience, providing insights into inclusive teaching practices and how the brain adapts to targeted interventions.

By focusing on practical, evidence-based strategies, Cognitive Techniques for Learning aims to empower educators and caregivers with tools to improve learning outcomes.

FRUIT YOU’LL NEVER SEE THE - A...

Gail Brenner Nastasia

Growing up in Gloucester, Massachusetts, a quaint coastal town with a dark underbelly, Gail Brenner Nastasia learned early on that some people mattered and others didn’t. As the child of a heroin-addicted mother and an aunt who brokered deals with men who liked to have sex with young girls, Gail was sure she didn’t matter. As a result of keeping her secrets and those of her family, she developed a cunning and merciless pill addiction. 
Despite moving away from Gloucester in her early twenties and becoming an attorney, Gail continued to use drugs while carrying the shame of her childhood. It wasn’t until she began to appreciate the value in her criminally-charged clients, those with whom she shared similar struggles, that she finally recognized her own worth. This new understanding gave her the courage to put down the drugs, fully embrace her history, and stop hiding. 
A candid look at the things we inherit, THE FRUIT YOU’LL NEVER SEE reminds us of the value intrinsic in every human being and the responsibility we all have to each other and ourselves.

Fort Stoddert - American...

Mike Bunn, Susie Hartman

For nearly fifteen years, Fort Stoddert stood as a tangible symbol of America’s push to assert control over a critical frontier region. Situated on the banks of the Mobile River—about thirty miles north of the city of Mobile—near what was then the border between the United States and Spanish West Florida, the fort was established in 1799 and abandoned not long after the Creek War of 1813–14. Though its existence was brief, Fort Stoddert became a focal point for numerous key developments in the early American history of southwest Alabama. It served as the administrative center for a newly acquired territory, a strategic hub for international diplomacy, a vital link in the emerging national transportation and communication network, a launching point for American settlement and expansion, and a cornerstone in the military defense strategy for the Mississippi Territory. Despite its remarkable significance, no comprehensive history of the fort has ever been written—until now. This book uses Fort Stoddert and its pivotal role in shaping the region as a lens to explore a formative era in the development and organization of one of Alabama’s earliest American-held areas.
