Executive Function Brain Trainer Podcast

In this episode of the Executive Function Brain Trainer Podcast, Dr. Erica Warren welcomes her business partner, executive functioning coach, and educational therapist, Nancy Platt Dawud, for a discussion geared toward parents on building executive functioning skills over the summer. They contrast the risks of too little structure with the benefits of involving kids in planning, time management, and organization, while also emphasizing the value of unstructured time, boredom, creativity, and frustration tolerance. They suggest practical, playful strategies including outdoor activities (obstacle courses, scavenger hunts, sports), family games (card and board games that support working memory, inhibition, flexibility, logic, and spatial skills), reading supports (graphic novels, audiobooks paired with text, finger tracking, apps), and real-life skill builders like cooking, travel prep and packing lists, map reading, memorizing key information, visual schedules, and small “chunked” routines like the three-thing rule, while cautioning against overscheduling and overhelping.Links:EF Student Coaching with Erica:⁠⁠https://learningtolearn.biz/⁠⁠⁠⁠EF Adult Coaching with Erica:⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dropintoyourbestself.com/coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠Executive Function Products and Tools: https://goodsensorylearning.com/collections/executive-functioning-skills-trainingivvi notes: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ivvi.app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Executive Functioning Coaching Course: ⁠https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/teaching-EF-and-study-strategies⁠Executive Functioning Resources: ⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/collections/executive-functioning-skills-training⁠⁠⁠Executive Functioning Assessments:⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://goodsensorylearning.com/search?type=product&q=EFCA⁠⁠⁠⁠Inner Voice:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/inner-voice-app⁠⁠Erica and Nancy’s Private Practice: https://learningtolearn.biz/ Drinking from a hose short: https://www.instagram.com/reels/CsXhIgQsTUw/ Quitch: Look for a used one on eBayRat-A-Tat CatBlinkDeductoTaco, Cat, Goat, Cheese, PizzaDog CrimesCat CrimesScattergoriesPictionaryMastermindGuess the Color (online version of Mastermind) Genius SquareBlockusQBitsLogic LinksRush HourClueSkylightDry Erase CalendarsPicture SchedulesBrought to you by:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ivvi.app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://learningspecialistcourses.com⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/executive-functioning-coaching-assessment⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

And most importantly, how can AI tools like Chat GPT support those of us with unique cognitive profiles, such as dyslexia? Tune in to explore these questions and more, and let's journey together into the future of cognitive science and technology. LinksChatGPT- ⁠⁠https://chat.openai.com/chat⁠⁠ Socratic Method: ⁠https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method⁠Memory Strategies:⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/memory-strategies-for-students?_pos=1&_sid=57e320c4c&_ss=r Executive Function | Working Memory Assessment: https://goodsensorylearning.com/search?type=product&q=EFCAWorking Memory Exercises:https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/working-memory-bundle?_pos=3&_sid=3819a2940&_ss=r⁠⁠ Eclectic Learning Approach and Student Processing Inventory:https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/student-processing-inventory-2?_pos=2&_sid=bb241d1c7&_ss=r⁠⁠ A Workshop on Multisensory Teaching: Accommodating Each Learner's Best Ways of Processing: ⁠⁠https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/multisensory-learning-workshop Executive Functioning Assessment:https://mymemorymentor.com/efcs/ One to one sessions with Dr. Warren:https://learningtolearn.biz/ One to one sessions with Darius:www.ivvi.appBulletMap Academy:https://bulletmapacademy.com/Learning Specialist Courses:https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/Executive functions and Study Skills Course:https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/teaching-EF-and-study-strategies Good Sensory Learning:https://goodsensorylearning.com/Executive Functionings for Groups and Classes:https://tinyurl.com/4sx3eh3fhttps://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/executive-functioning-games-for-groups-and-classes  Dyslexia Quiz: ⁠⁠https://bulletmapacademy.com/dyslexia-quiz/⁠⁠Dyslexia Productivity Coaching: ⁠⁠http://dyslexiaproductivitycoaching.com/⁠⁠Cognitive Flexibility:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/dyslexia-and-executive-function Dyslexia Quiz: ⁠⁠https://bulletmapacademy.com/dyslexia-quiz/⁠⁠Inhibitory Control:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/poor-executive-functioning?_pos=3&_sid=19d2b3888&_ss=r Visualization:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/the-key-to-improved-attention-and-memory-for-optimal-learning?_pos=8&_sid=a9d61809a&_ss=r Inner Voice:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/inner-voice-app?_pos=1&_sid=604e0b13e&_ss=r Working Memory:https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/tagged/working-memory Brought to you by:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ivvi.app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://learningspecialistcourses.com⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/executive-functioning-coaching-assessment⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dropintoyourbestself.com/www.learningtolearn.bizhttps://dropintoyourbestself.com/

In this insightful episode of "Personal Brain Trainer," Darius Namdaran delves into a unique perspective on artificial intelligence (AI) and its connection to the Socratic Method. Together with Dr. Erica Warren, they explore how AI can be utilized to enhance executive function skills and encourage out-of-the-box thinking through inquiry and reflection. Drawing inspiration from Socrates's approach to teaching, they discuss how questions and responses can provoke curiosity, foster exploration, and build understanding.Prompt:I want you to act like Socrates and imagine you are a teacher using the Socratic method to engage with students. When answering questions, remember to:Pose open-ended, thought-provoking questions to guide the conversation.Actively listen and encourage elaboration and clarification of ideas.Encourage self-examination and personal growth.Demonstrate intellectual humility and openness to new perspectives.Engage in a dialectical process, refining ideas through dialogue.Adapt your approach to individual learners' needs and abilities.Emphasize the importance of the inquiry process over finding the "right" answer.Encourage participants to ask their own questions and cultivate curiosity."You are going to be the teacher, and I am going to be the student. I want you to ask me a question and wait for my response, then repeat the process. Are you ready to begin Socrates? If you are, ask me what topic I want to learn.LinksChatGPT- ⁠⁠https://chat.openai.com/chat⁠⁠ Socratic Method: ⁠https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method⁠Memory Strategies:⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/memory-strategies-for-studentsExecutive Functioning |Working Memory Assessment: https://goodsensorylearning.com/search?_pos=1&_sid=9691d7fd7&_ss=r&q=executive%20functioning%20assessments&type=product Working Memory Exercises:https://goodsensorylearning.com/search?type=product&q=working+memoryEclectic Learning Approach and Student Processing Inventory:https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/student-processing-inventory-2A Workshop on Multisensory Teaching: Accommodating Each Learner's Best Ways of Processing: ⁠⁠https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/multisensory-learning-workshop Executive Functioning Remedial Assessment: https://goodsensorylearning.com/search?type=product&q=EFCA One-to-one sessions with Dr. Warren:https://learningtolearn.biz/ One-to-one sessions with Darius:www.ivvi.appBulletMap Academy:https://bulletmapacademy.com/Learning Specialist Courses:https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/Executive Functions and Study Skills Course:https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/teaching-EF-and-study-strategies Good Sensory Learning:https://goodsensorylearning.com/Executive Functionings for Groups and Classes:https://tinyurl.com/4sx3eh3fhttps://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/executive-functioning-games-for-groups-and-classes  Dyslexia Quiz: ⁠⁠https://bulletmapacademy.com/dyslexia-quiz/⁠⁠Dyslexia Productivity Coaching: ⁠⁠http://dyslexiaproductivitycoaching.com/⁠⁠Cognitive Flexibility:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/dyslexia-and-executive-function Inhibitory Control:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/poor-executive-functioningVisualization:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/the-key-to-improved-attention-and-memory-for-optimal-learningInner Voice:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/inner-voice-appWorking Memory:https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/tagged/working-memory Brought to you by:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ivvi.app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://learningspecialistcourses.com⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/executive-functioning-coaching-assessment⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dropintoyourbestself.com/www.learningtolearn.bizhttps://dropintoyourbestself.com/
