Summary of Damon Korb's Raising an Organized Child

By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The concepts and recommendations in Raising an Organized Child are supported by years of scientific evidence about how the brain develops with age and how organizational skills develop over time. This chapter focuses on the scientific discovery and fascinating process by which clinicians grew to understand the organized brain.

#2 The brain’s organization is similar to the layout of a large city. It is divided into regions of neurodevelopmental function, such as memory, language, spatial and sequential processing, and motor control. Skills that a student must perform, such as writing a name, remembering homework, and playing dodgeball, require communication between these brain districts.

#3 The brain is still being studied, and each new discovery leads to more questions. Research has shown that certain regions of the brain work together to support organized thoughts and actions.

#4 The frontal lobe has been associated with the executive functions in the scientific literature since the famous case of Phineas Gage. Gage was the foreman of a railway construction gang, and he was injured in a explosion. He survived, but never returned to his job.

#1

The concepts and recommendations in Raising an Organized Child are supported by years of scientific evidence about how the brain develops with age and how organizational skills develop over time. This chapter focuses on the scientific discovery and fascinating process by which clinicians grew to understand the organized brain.

#2

The brain’s organization is similar to the layout of a large city. It is divided into regions of neurodevelopmental function, such as memory, language, spatial and sequential processing, and motor control. Skills that a student must perform, such as writing a name, remembering homework, and playing dodgeball, require communication between these brain districts.

#3

The brain is still being studied, and each new discovery leads to more questions. Research has shown that certain regions of the brain work together to support organized thoughts and actions.

#4

The frontal lobe has been associated with the executive functions in the scientific literature since the famous case of Phineas Gage. Gage was the foreman of a railway construction gang, and he was injured in a explosion. He survived, but never returned to his job.

#5

The brain is very unique in its wiring, and it is difficult to make a diagnosis based on a computerized technology that is based on an average or typical presentation.

#6

The prefrontal lobe, a section of the brain located about 2 inches from the front and top of the brain, is responsible for executive function, which is commonly referred to as the brain’s working memory. It allows the brain to think about multiple things at once.

#7

The ability to organize and manage information and tasks is a skill that develops with age. By the time children enter preschool, they are often capable of following a group plan and executing plans independently when cued by the classroom teacher.

#8

The A Not B Task is a experiment that was performed with children aged 7 months and older. The children are shown an eye-catching toy. The toy is placed into Box A, within their reach, and they are allowed to search for it. Then, the toy
