Absorbing Information

Picture
One of the primary functions of the brain is to utilise information. It takes information from the external environment via our senses, processes that information, combining it with what we already know (our previous experiences and innate knowledge), and then comes to a conclusion, which might be some kind of behaviour, decision, opinion, belief or action. Our courses will help you perform more effectively at each of these stages.

Since one of the primary functions of the brain is to absorb information from the external environment, we have a number of courses that will help you with that. 
  • We look at strategies to help you use your memory more effectively, using techniques that have been used by people for thousands of years, and combining them with modern psychological and neurological research. We also look at ways of helping you to read all the material you need in the time you have available including speed reading and intelligent reading techniques. Finally, we introduce mind maps, showing you the range of areas in which they can be useful and taking you through their potential in a step-by-step manner.
