Monitoring attention and cognition and the effect of sensory motor, nutritional, and other biochemical factors thereon

Abstract

Abstract A method of analyzing learning abilities and disabilities and administering learning therapy to students and other subjects. They are tested for reading ability while their behavior response patterns are being tested by instrumental means including instruments able to detect alpha brain wave patterns and physiological stress, and, where the instrument indicates that the test subject is undergoing a brain wave or stress pattern indicative of brain wave or stress patterns typically manifested by those having learning disabilities, general or specific therapy is administered to reduce the occurrence frequency and duration of high amplitude alpha waves and to reduce the stress patterns within the test subject by sensory motor therapy, print size variation reading therapy and nutritional therapy. The sensory motor therapy includes developing desirable eye movement patterns and sequences by training non-eye muscles and performing exercises in rhythm with reading exercises; the nutritional therapy includes treatment to normalize the amounts and proportions of minerals present in the body of the test subject as well as administering low molecular weight L-amino acids to suppress undue fluctuations in the alpha brain waves of the subject, and the print size variation therapy includes displaying reading matter to the subject in extremely small type during the initial phase of therapy to cause print matter to lie within a reduced angular lateral span and increasing the type size only when the student shows reading improvement.
