Auditory Processing: the processing of sounds - the major
underlying skill needed to learn to read and spell; helps one to hear the
difference, order, and number of sounds in words; involved in speech defects
• Auditory Discrimination: to hear differences in
sounds (i.e., loudness, pitch, duration, and phoneme)
• Auditory Segmenting: to break apart words into
their separate sounds
• Auditory Blending: to blend individual sounds to
form words
• Auditory Analysis: to determine the number, the
sequence, and to determine which sounds are within a word
• Auditory-Visual Association: to be able to link
a sound with an image
• Comprehension: to understand words and concepts
• Divided Attention: to attend to and handle two
or more tasks at one time, required for handling tasks quickly as well as
handling complex tasks (i.e., taking notes while listening, carrying totals
while adding the next column, etc.)
• Logic and Reasoning: to reason, plan, and think
• Long Term Memory: to retrieve past information
• Math Computations: to do math calculations such
as adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing
• Processing Speed: the speed at which the brain
processes information; need to make reading faster and less tiring; helps
make one more aware of his/her surrounding environment; helps with sports
such as basketball, football, and soccer and activites such as driving
• Saccadic Fixation: to move the eyes accurately
and quickly from one point to another
• Selective Attention: to stay on task even when
distraction is present
• Sensory-Motor Integration: to have the sensory
skills work well with the motor skills (i.e., eye-hand coordination)
• Sequential Processing: to process chunks of information
that are received one after another
• Simultaneous Processing: to process chunks of information
that are received all at once
• Sustained Attention: to be able to stay on task
• Visual Discrimination: to see differences in size,
color, shape, distance, and orientation of objects
• Visual Processing: to process and make use of visual
images; create mental pictures; needed understand and “see” word math problems and read maps; needed to improve reading and comprehension
skills
• Visual Manipulation: to flip, rotate, move, change
color, etc. objects and images in one's mind
• Visualization: to create mental images or pictures
• Visual Span: to see more/wider in a single look;
enables faster reading and better, faster decisions in sports
• Working Memory: holding information in your memory
while deciding what to do with it; used to retain information while processing
or using it
