Lesen, merken und erinnern

Do you sometimes read a paragraph for the third time and still not grasp what it says? Have you completely forgotten what was in the newspaper after just a few hours? Concentration and memory disorders are a widespread issue. In children, they are a common cause of academic performance problems, while in adults with brain injuries, they are almost typical, and in older individuals with declining brain functions, these deficits often increase. This book offers assistance. Affected individuals and their relatives will first learn about the fundamentals of such disorders through examples from the author's treatment cases, and compensation strategies will be discussed. The subsequent training section includes a variety of exercises that start with simple tasks and gradually become more challenging. This includes training for remembering shopping lists, retaining names, recalling read newspaper articles, learning English vocabulary, remembering events from one’s life history, systematically working on tasks, and studying exam texts. The large number of illustrations and drawings makes the training enjoyable. The book is suitable for self-training for those affected, as a resource for relatives, and as working material for occupational therapists, elderly care workers, neuropsychologists, and others in the rehabilitation field.
