T-56 Sensory Cognitive Functions for Language Processing With a Focus on Concept Imagery (PP)

Description
Tom Mariani, Center Director, Lindamood Bell Learning Processes, New York, NY This presentation examines three sensory-cognitive functions—concept imagery, phonemic awareness and symbol imagery—which affect language processing skills including comprehension and reading. Decoding, spelling or comprehension difficulties may be the result of weaknesses in these underlying sensory-cognitive functions.
