Barbara Arrowsmith Young
 Arrowsmith School treats learning
disabilities
 Young: Struggled with dyslexia
Psychology graduate
 Her theory:
 “A person can transform weak areas of the
brain through repetitive and targeted
cognitive exercises”
Continued…
 Schools are in US and Canada
 In 2003, TCDSB comprehension rates of
learning increased 1½ to 3 times
 Young people have a type of ADD
 Their problems:
 Thinking
 Problem Solving
 Task Completion
 Getting Distracted Easily
 Trouble with Non-verbal Thinking
 Face Expressions
 Body Language
Facts
 We are Digital Natives
 On average:
 Approx.: 8½ hrs a day absorb digital and
video sensory
 By 20:
 Approx.: 20 000 hrs. on the web
10 000 hrs. playing video games
Dr. Gary Small
 Dr. Gary Small: renowned neuroscientist
 Beleive the human brain has been
affected quickly and dramatically
 Performed Experiment:
 A “savvy” and “naïve” computer user
 5 hours each on Google
 Savvy remained the same in the brain
 Naïve rewired their brain
 Our society is turning off their frontal lobes.
Better known as “video game brain.”
 We are developing a generation with
underdeveloped frontal lobes.
 Digital natives are miles ahead of where we
used to be, but are not using this to their
advantage.
 We spend so much time online, that we have
fewer face to face interactions.
Consequences?
 We have more information on hands then ever
and yet we know less.
Stress, No Time
 It’s not what you learn, it’s what you know.
 We depend on machines and technology,
which leads humans to do less thinking, losing
our mental sources.
 We use less and less of our brain, it’s all a cut
and paste learning process. We become
intellectually lazy
 We no longer have time to reflect, contemplate
or make decisions.
 Our brain eventually can’t take this “strain”
and eventually shuts down, we get “brain fog”,
which leads to depression.
