An indispensable guide that examines the effect of long-term memory functions on children’s learning
Long-Term Memory Problems in Children and Adolescents: Assessment, Intervention, and Effective Instruction is the first book of its kind for psychologists, school psychologists, and special education teachers who need an overview of long-term memory as it relates to learning and education. It presents the best practices for assessing long-term memory functions, as well as selecting and using evidence-based instructional practices with memory-impaired students.
This useful and timely guide bridges theory and practice to provide professional guidance with coverage of:
-
Risk factors that can lead to long-term memory impairments
-
How long-term memory relates to other types of memory
-
The subcomponents and processes of long-term memory and how they relate to academic achievement
-
What is known about the neuroanatomy of how memories are formed
-
The developmental trajectory of memory and learning
-
Common types of memory dysfunction
-
Memory assessment strategies, interventions for memory problems, and instructional practices that support memory
Author Milton Dehn draws on his extensive experience as a trainer and workshop presenter, school psychologist, and educator to present both the theory and research on long-term memory in children and adolescents in this book. Specific step-by-step guidance and hands-on case studies enable professionals to identify how memory can be assessed as well as the interventions that can be linked to the results of the assessment.
