"Very little has been focused on the fact that we could potentially improve the child's ability to learn any content by making a better brain." says Dr. Paula Tallal, "An analogy I use is that, I pay an awful lot more money to have a faster internet connection. You can do a lot more with fast speed cable connections. I don't want to be the child in the classroom left with dial up."
In this town hall meeting at the Temporal Dynamics of Learning Center at the University of California educators and scientist collaborate to find the best educational experience for our children.
Dr. Tallal's analogy of the brain working like a high speed internet connection or an old fashion dial up version is a great analogy of what IM does. IM improves the efficiency of the brain, letting sensory information process faster and more completely. IM gives children a faster speed internet connection for processing information. One of my favorite quotes is from a 9 yr old girl who described how IM changed her ability to read, "It's like the words are getting to my brain faster."
