We've heard a lot about brain training for the purpose of expanding our brain activity and keeping it mentally healthy. Our brains can become almost stagnant without proper stimulation in much the same way as our bodies become unfit and flabby without proper exercise. Brain training can be used for a fun way to stimulate your brain; however, a more important reason for brain training is therapy.
Many of us practice brain training on a daily basis without even realizing that's what we're doing. Whether we're working with numbers and calculations or playing stimulating games online, we're practicing some form of brain training. Others will purchase games such as the Nintendo DS game, Brain Age, with the sole purpose of brain training.
Brain training therapists use brain training to help with many medical conditions involving the brain. By understanding, through research, the way our brains develop, learn and repair themselves after accidents or injury, they're able to develop brain training exercises to keep the brain stimulated and in shape.
With the use of cognitive rehabilitation programs, they are able to help many individuals with problems like attention deficit, autistic disorders, learning disabilities, language and developmental delays, sensory processing problems and more. This type of brain training is used and especially effective with children.
Whether it's educational games, flash cards or a variety of toys representing different development stages in their lives, the children are part of a brain training program designed to help many parts of their brain and their learning ability. The environment in which the brain therapy takes place is a fun and learning setting where they can enjoy themselves while still being part of the therapy.
The therapy revolves around improving many functions of the brain including short term memory, cognitive development, pragmatics, frontal lobe functions, auditory processing, visual processing, social relationships and manual processing. The brain therapy exercises not only provide the brain with stimulation but also help the therapists see which areas are improving and which areas of the brain need more therapy.
