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.

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 exercises Movement Routine exercise Martial arts Music training Mindfulness meditation and breathwork  Links: Planning Time Management and Organization for Success: https://bit.ly/3c1AaHw Executive Functioning and Study Skills Course: https://bit.ly/3rMYbcJ Getting Things Done:https://amzn.to/3bXAI15 Foods Linked to Better Brain Power: https://bit.ly/3wwis8n To improve students’ mental health, Yale study finds, teach them to breathe: https://bit.ly/3o9RSOB 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 Functions 1. Reasoning: Act of drawing conclusions to solve problems and make decisions. Reasoning with information makes it memorable 2. 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 agendas 4. 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.

Inhibitory Control - Inhibitory control, also known as response inhibition, is an executive function – that permits an individual to inhibit their impulses and habitual behavioral responses in order to select a more appropriate behavior that is consistent with completing a task or goal.  Ability to block distractions - Editing your moment - MUTE Links for reference of the topic Jill Bolte Taylor: https://www.drjilltaylor.com/ 90 Second Rule: https://youtu.be/vxARXvljKBA Mindfulness and Social-Emotional Development: https://goodsensorylearning.com/collections/social-emotional-development 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 Brought to you by ⁠www.goodsensorylearning.com⁠ ⁠www.learningspecialistcourses.com⁠ ⁠www.bulletmapacademy.com

Executive functioning conducts our multisensory symphony of cognitive skills and makes it possible for us to mentally juggle ideas think before we act meet unanticipated challenges resist temptations stay focused initiate tasks to name a few. Today, we will offer an overview of the core executive functioning skills. 3 Core Executive Functions Working Memory - Ability to temporarily store, manage, and manipulate a limited amount of information for reasoning, comprehension, and the preparation of long-term memory. - Inner voice - Inner visuals Inhibitory Control - Inhibitory control (one of the core EFs) involves being able to control one’s attention, behavior, thoughts, and/or emotions to override temptations and distractions, and instead do what’s appropriate or needed. Cognitive Flexibility - Ability to adapt thought processes in response to their ever-changing environment. - Creativity Links for reference of the topic (if any) Harvard University: Executive Functioning and Self Regulation Executive Functions: Adele Diamond 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 Brought to you by ⁠www.goodsensorylearning.com⁠ ⁠www.learningspecialistcourses.com⁠ ⁠www.bulletmapacademy.com

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.

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://bbc.in/3vM7B9M Blink By Malcolm Gladwell: https://amzn.to/3beBje9 Multisensory Multiplication and Division to Melodies: https://bit.ly/3CgUf7X Brought to you by ⁠www.goodsensorylearning.com⁠ ⁠www.learningspecialistcourses.com⁠ ⁠www.bulletmapacademy.com

Visualization is the ability to create mental images within one’s mind. These imaginary pictures or mind movies enable us to see experiences from the past, conjure up ideas in the present, or even project visuals into the future. In our first podcast, we reviewed how visualization can improve memory, make books and other academic classes come alive, and improve our attention, and speed of learning.
