Executive Function Brain Trainer Podcast

Creating a daily routine is a way to take care of yourself, present your best self to others, and reach your ultimate goals. It also establishes priorities, limits procrastination, provides a structure that builds positive habits and can generate momentum that will carry you on the days when you are feeling rather apathetic and unmotivated.When we build routines to automaticity, these actions become habits that require little effort or thought.Links for reference of the topic Planning, Time Management and Organization for Success:  https://bit.ly/3JbAfYv The Ultimate Editable Planner: https://bit.ly/3ElIBca Executive Functioning and Study Skills Course: https://bit.ly/3rMYbcJStrategies Make a decision to do it Use technology or handheld tools to help you manage your time Draw out a plan Break large goals into smaller manageable chunks Set up rewards Commit to a daily routine and build it to automaticity (Episode 3) Schedule daily reminders Track your progress Get an Executive Functioning CoachBrought to you by The Dyslexia Advantage website: https://www.dyslexicadvantage.org/  The Dyslexic Advantage Book: https://amzn.to/3d87Fbt  Executive Functioning Resources: https://goodsensorylearning.com/collections/executive-functioning-skills-training   Executive Functioning and Study Skills Course: https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/teaching-EF-and-study-strategies        Dyslexia Resources:  https://goodsensorylearning.com/collections/overcoming-dyslexia  Bullet Map Academy: https://bulletmapacademy.com/         Executive Functioning Assessment: https://mymemorymentor.com/efcs/  One to one sessions with Dr. Warren: https://learningtolearn.biz/  One to one sessions with Darius: www.ivvi.app BulletMap Academy: https://bulletmapacademy.com/ Learning Specialist Courses:https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/ Executive functions and Study Skills Course: https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/teaching-EF-and-study-strategies  Good Sensory Learning: https://goodsensorylearning.com/ Executive Functionings for Groups and Classes: https://tinyurl.com/4sx3eh3fhttps://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/executive-functioning-games-for-groups-and-classes   Dyslexia Productivity Coaching: ⁠⁠http://dyslexiaproductivitycoaching.com/⁠⁠ Cognitive Flexibility:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/dyslexia-and-executive-function  Dyslexia Quiz: ⁠⁠https://bulletmapacademy.com/dyslexia-quiz/⁠⁠ Inhibitory Control:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/poor-executive-functioning?_pos=3&_sid=19d2b3888&_ss=r  Metacognition: https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/teaching-metacognitive-skills?_pos=1&_sid=8c4ed9b58&_ss=r  Visualization:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/the-key-to-improved-attention-and-memory-for-optimal-learning?_pos=8&_sid=a9d61809a&_ss=r  Inner Voice:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/inner-voice-app?_pos=1&_sid=604e0b13e&_ss=r  Working Memory: https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/tagged/working-memory Brought to you by: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ivvi.app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://goodsensorylearning.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://learningspecialistcourses.com⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/executive-functioning-coaching-assessment⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dropintoyourbestself.com/ www.learningtolearn.biz

In this episode, we discuss 12 strategies that can be used to improve executive functions. We organized the discussion under four main headings:Routines and Approaches: Maintaining a structured daily routine Using planners and PDAs Developing study skills and strategies (spaced repetition, memory strategies, developing working memory, doing one task at a time to completion) Eating a healthy diet (fish oil, colorful veggies, berries, tea/coffee, walnuts, fermented foods, dark chocolate)Cognition and Metacognition: Thinking aloud Interactive games Cognitive remedial therapy: Developing and strengthening the core cognitive skills Brain exercisesMovement Routine exercise Martial arts Music trainingMindfulness meditation and breathwork Links: Planning Time Management and Organization for Success: https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/planning-time-management-and-organization-for-success-download?_pos=1&_sid=0ff6bac30&_ss=r  Executive Functioning and Study Skills Course: https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/teaching-EF-and-study-strategies   Foods Linked to Better Brain Power: https://www.health.harvard.edu/healthbeat/foods-linked-to-better-brainpower  To improve students’ mental health, Yale study finds, teach them to breathe: https://news.yale.edu/2020/07/27/improve-students-mental-health-yale-study-finds-teach-them-breathe  Is your brain healthy?

Higher-Level Executive Functions unite working memory, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility. Like a sound engineer in a recording studio, we can mindfully arrange, balance and adjust our mental input or perceptions into a composition. It requires a concert of reasoning, creativity, planning, pattern recognition, timing and sequencing skills.Higher-Level Executive Functions1. Reasoning: Act of drawing conclusions to solve problems and make decisions. Reasoning with information makes it memorable2. Time management: Planning and prioritizing: arranging activities for the present and future. Making predictions: to forecast something about the future.3. Organization: The process through which we mentally arrange or order information into meaningful and digestible patterns. Memory is improved when we organize information before we encode it. Keeping materials organized saves time and attention. Organizing ideas helps us to arrange and digest them. Mind maps Outlines Timelines Planners and agendas4. Identifying Patterns: describes cognitive processes that match information from a stimulus with information retrieved from memory. Improves memory - allows us to link new information to old knowledge. Improves attention - helps us focus.Links for reference of the topic Executive Functioning publications at Good Sensory Learning: https://goodsensorylearning.com/collections/executive-functioning-skills-training Executive Functioning Skills Workshop: https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/executive-functioning-skills-workshop Planning, Time Management and Organization for Success: https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/planning-time-management-and-organization-for-success-download?_pos=1&_sid=c72458f86&_ss=r  Why improving and assessing executive functions early in life is critical: chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/http://devcogneuro.com/Publications/Diamond_(2016)_Why_improving_and_assessing_executive_functions.pdf    Executive functions and Study Skills Course: https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/teaching-EF-and-study-strategies  Good Sensory Learning: https://goodsensorylearning.com/ Executive Functionings for Groups and Classes: https://tinyurl.com/4sx3eh3fhttps://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/executive-functioning-games-for-groups-and-classes   Dyslexia Productivity Coaching: ⁠⁠http://dyslexiaproductivitycoaching.com/⁠⁠ Cognitive Flexibility:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/dyslexia-and-executive-function  Dyslexia Quiz: ⁠⁠https://bulletmapacademy.com/dyslexia-quiz/⁠⁠ Inhibitory Control:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/poor-executive-functioning?_pos=3&_sid=19d2b3888&_ss=r  Metacognition: https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/teaching-metacognitive-skills?_pos=1&_sid=8c4ed9b58&_ss=r  Visualization:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/the-key-to-improved-attention-and-memory-for-optimal-learning?_pos=8&_sid=a9d61809a&_ss=r  Inner Voice:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/inner-voice-app?_pos=1&_sid=604e0b13e&_ss=r  Working Memory: https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/tagged/working-memory Brought to you by: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ivvi.app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://goodsensorylearning.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://learningspecialistcourses.com⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/executive-functioning-coaching-assessment⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dropintoyourbestself.com/ www.learningtolearn.biz

Cognitive flexibility is part of executive functioning that helps us switch gears to changing demands, priorities and perspectives.  It also helps us to consider different rules for different situations, opens pathways to creative thinking, and allows us to update goals so we can achieve them.In a nutshell: Cognitive flexibility is a critical skill that enables individuals to accurately and efficiently respond to changing environments. In this episode, we explore cognitive flexibility in a similar way to changing gears in a car depending on the road conditions. You can think of it as sailing and adjusting your sails according to the wind and the tides. We believe it's important to find a personal metaphor in your own life that allows you relate to the concept of cognitive flexibility and manage your own cognition.  A good example would be when playing golf and having to adapt to the environment based on what is happening on the golf course. So in this podcast, we'll discuss how critical cognitive flexibility is to executive functioning, and we hope you'll enjoy it.Cognitive flexibility involves switching gears Switching gears - Demands: Managing the changing and unexpected daily demands and emergencies.  Metaphor: navigating unexpected obstacles in the road Switching gears  - Priorities: Taking the time to order tasks. Switching gears - Perspectives: Seeing a situation through a different lens.Cognitive flexibility also involves different rules for different situations Creative thinking: Thinking outside of the box. Making adjustments: Much like sailing one needs to constantly accommodate or work with the changing demands of the wind, water. and land.Links for reference of the topic (if any) Executive Functioning publications at Good Sensory Learning: https://goodsensorylearning.com/collections/executive-functioning-skills-training Executive Functioning Skills Workshop: https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/executive-functioning-skills-workshop Planning, Time Management and Organization for Success: https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/planning-time-management-and-organization-for-success-download?_pos=1&_sid=c72458f86&_ss=r  Why improving and assessing executive functions early in life is critical: chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/http://devcogneuro.com/Publications/Diamond_(2016)_Why_improving_and_assessing_executive_functions.pdf    Executive functions and Study Skills Course: https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/teaching-EF-and-study-strategies  Good Sensory Learning: https://goodsensorylearning.com/ Executive Functionings for Groups and Classes: https://tinyurl.com/4sx3eh3fhttps://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/executive-functioning-games-for-groups-and-classes   Dyslexia Productivity Coaching: ⁠⁠http://dyslexiaproductivitycoaching.com/⁠⁠ Cognitive Flexibility:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/dyslexia-and-executive-function  Dyslexia Quiz: ⁠⁠https://bulletmapacademy.com/dyslexia-quiz/⁠⁠ Inhibitory Control:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/poor-executive-functioning?_pos=3&_sid=19d2b3888&_ss=r  Metacognition: https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/teaching-metacognitive-skills?_pos=1&_sid=8c4ed9b58&_ss=r  Visualization:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/the-key-to-improved-attention-and-memory-for-optimal-learning?_pos=8&_sid=a9d61809a&_ss=r  Inner Voice:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/inner-voice-app?_pos=1&_sid=604e0b13e&_ss=r  Working Memory: https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/tagged/working-memory Brought to you by: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ivvi.app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://goodsensorylearning.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://learningspecialistcourses.com⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/executive-functioning-coaching-assessment⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dropintoyourbestself.com/ www.learningtolearn.biz

This podcast provides an overview of executive functioning and its importance. They discuss how it enables individuals to mentally juggle ideas, think before acting, meet challenges, resist temptations, stay focused, and initiate tasks. They explore the concept of muting and zooming to improve inhibitory control and discuss analogies, such as driving a car and taming a wild horse, to understand executive functioning. They also emphasize the importance of practical applications and relate theoretical concepts to real-life scenarios.

Working memory is a complex cognitive skill that enables learners to hold pieces of information in the mind and manipulate them.  It is often described as a mental workspace that helps individuals manage their memories, stay focused, block distractions, and stay abreast of their surroundings.Alan Baddeley's theory: Sensory Input and Memory enable one to briefly retain the environmental information that enters cognition through our senses. Short-Term Memory then holds a small amount of information in an active, usable state. Central Executive, at the same time, directs attention and allocates priority to the two following processing activities: Visual-Spatial Sketchpad visualizes input in an internal visual and spatial form and then sends and receives information to and from the long-term memory. Phonological Loop manages, processes, repeats (as an inner voice) written and auditory material and also communicates with the long term memory. Episodic Buffer acts as a stage and storage device that shares information with the long-term memory, the visual-spatial sketchpad, and the phonological loop. Long-Term Memory is responsible for the storage of memories for an extended time.LINKS: Harvard University: Executive Functioning and Self Regulation: https://developingchild.harvard.edu/resource-guides/guide-executive-function/  Executive Functions: Adele Diamond: https://www.annualreviews.org/deliver/fulltext/psych/64/1/annurev-psych-113011-143750.pdf?itemId=/content/journals/10.1146/annurev-psych-113011-143750&mimeType=application/pdf  Executive Functioning publications at Good Sensory Learning: https://goodsensorylearning.com/collections/executive-functioning-skills-training  Executive Functioning Skills Workshop: https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/executive-functioning-skills-workshop Executive functioning and Study Skills Course: https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/teaching-EF-and-study-strategies  Executive Functionings for Groups and Classes: https://tinyurl.com/4sx3eh3fhttps://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/executive-functioning-games-for-groups-and-classes   Dyslexia Productivity Coaching: ⁠⁠http://dyslexiaproductivitycoaching.com/⁠⁠ Cognitive Flexibility:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/dyslexia-and-executive-function  Dyslexia Quiz: ⁠⁠https://bulletmapacademy.com/dyslexia-quiz/⁠⁠ Inhibitory Control:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/poor-executive-functioning?_pos=3&_sid=19d2b3888&_ss=r  Metacognition: https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/teaching-metacognitive-skills?_pos=1&_sid=8c4ed9b58&_ss=r  Visualization:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/the-key-to-improved-attention-and-memory-for-optimal-learning?_pos=8&_sid=a9d61809a&_ss=r  Inner Voice:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/inner-voice-app?_pos=1&_sid=604e0b13e&_ss=r  Working Memory: https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/tagged/working-memory Brought to you by: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ivvi.app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://goodsensorylearning.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://learningspecialistcourses.com⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/executive-functioning-coaching-assessment⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dropintoyourbestself.com/ www.learningtolearn.biz

Automaticity is the ability to complete tasks without occupying the conscious mind. These tasks become an automatic, unconscious response pattern or habit. This episode reveals the benefits of automaticity for learning and the steps required to achieve this goal.Steps of automaticity: Make a conscious choice to acquire a habit. Focus all your attention on this task and manage all distractions. Repeatedly learn small sets of information. Making your training progressively more difficult. “Slow (careful) is - Smooth is fast.” Decrease the time it takes to complete the task. Practicing doing this task while doing something else. Finally, as Pablo Picasso once said, “Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.”Links: Dance Mat Typing: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zf2f9j6/articles/z3c6tfr  Blink By Malcolm Gladwell: https://amzn.to/3beBje9  Multisensory Multiplication and Division to Melodies: https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/multisensory-multiplication-and-division-to-melodies?_pos=1&_sid=4f9f2f0c7&_ss=r  Executive Functionings for Groups and Classes: https://tinyurl.com/4sx3eh3fhttps://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/executive-functioning-games-for-groups-and-classes   Dyslexia Productivity Coaching: ⁠⁠http://dyslexiaproductivitycoaching.com/⁠⁠ Cognitive Flexibility:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/dyslexia-and-executive-function  Dyslexia Quiz: ⁠⁠https://bulletmapacademy.com/dyslexia-quiz/⁠⁠ Inhibitory Control:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/poor-executive-functioning?_pos=3&_sid=19d2b3888&_ss=r  Metacognition: https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/teaching-metacognitive-skills?_pos=1&_sid=8c4ed9b58&_ss=r  Visualization:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/the-key-to-improved-attention-and-memory-for-optimal-learning?_pos=8&_sid=a9d61809a&_ss=r  Inner Voice:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/inner-voice-app?_pos=1&_sid=604e0b13e&_ss=r  Working Memory: https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/tagged/working-memory Brought to you by:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ivvi.app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://goodsensorylearning.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://learningspecialistcourses.com⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/executive-functioning-coaching-assessment⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dropintoyourbestself.com/ www.learningtolearn.biz
