Cognitive Development

Cognition is the process involving thought, rationale and perception. The physical changes of the brain that occur during adolescence follow typical patterns of cognitive development. They are characterised by the development of higher-level cognitive functioning that aligns with the changes in brain structure and function, particularly in the prefrontal cortex region.

The structural and functional brain changes affect the opportunity for increased memory and processing. They may also contribute to vulnerability, such as risk taking and increased sensitivity to mental illness.

We are the architects and builders of our own brains. Our brains are changing in response to our actions and attitudes, every day of our lives. The human brain is continually altering its structure, cell number, circuitry and chemistry as a direct result of everything we do, experience, think and believe. This is called “neuroplasticity”. Neurobics: Throughout the course of everyday, our brain is activated by our senses, and we encounter new stimuli all the time. The kind or strength of nerve cells stimulation that is necessary to activate new brain circuits and enhance neutrophin production.

ISPD Neurobic exercises stimulates the brain ,using the five senses in new and unexpected ways to activate the new brain circuits and enhances neutrophin production which in turn grow brain cells and keep the brain younger and stronger. These “associations” (eg. putting a name together with a face, a smell together with a food, and so on) are the building blocks of memory and the basis of how we learn, so in stimulating this process these exercises help us to grow a more powerful, enduring and efficient brain Mental skills, just like physical skills, take repetition, practice, and game-time application to develop. We ask our brains to read, think, remember and process information all day, every day, which is why functioning with any cognitive weakness at all can be exhausting. Cognitive abilities are brain-based skills we need to carry out any task from the simplest to the most complex. They have more to do with the mechanisms of how we learn, remember, problem-solve, and pay attention rather than with any actual knowledge. we have the ability to keep our brains sharp, effective and capable of learning new skills well into our 90s, if we protect our brains from damaging habits and give them ongoing stimulation and appropriate fuel.
