About this ebook

Memory Aids for Learning explores how targeted memory techniques can significantly improve academic outcomes for students with learning disabilities. Grounded in cognitive science and educational psychology, the book highlights the importance of understanding memory deficits, such as those impacting working memory, long-term memory, and executive function, common in students with dyslexia or ADHD. It emphasizes that memory is a skill that can be developed, not a fixed capacity, showcasing how mnemonic strategies and visual aids can transform learning.

The book presents evidence-based memory techniques ready for educational settings, including spaced repetition and elaborative encoding, to enhance retention. A key insight is the power of visual imagery in boosting memory. It guides readers from foundational knowledge of memory and learning disabilities to practical applications of memory aids, detailing their use across various subjects.

Finally, the book champions a strengths-based approach, focusing on what students can achieve with the right support. It provides practical guidelines and lesson plans adaptable for teachers and parents, addressing individual learning styles and curriculum demands. The content progresses logically, beginning with core concepts and culminating in implementation strategies, making it a valuable resource for educators, parents, and students seeking to support learners facing memory-related challenges.
