Processing includes three processing skills that work together: attention, working memory, and processing speed. Processing skills allow students to focus (sustain their attention), manipulate information they receive (working memory), and efficiently process the information as it is being taught (processing speed). These three cognitive skills work interdependently to make sense of information we are exposed to.
Skills: Working Memory, Attention, Processing Speed.
If students have fast processing speed, they may become inattentive because they no longer have anything to attend to. Conversely, student’s with slow processing speed may develop anxiety and impulsivity. Differences in processing speed are guaranteed in every classroom, yet few educators have training on how to effectively identify and personalize accordingly.
is the amount of information our brains processes per day - the equivalent of what we’d process in a lifetime, a few generations ago
