Audio-visual stimulation and training (article)

[Владимир Никонов 2]

[html]<p>Using session audio-visual stimulation in the learning process is intended to enable a person to learn to control your internal psychological attitude for the implementation of the expansion memory, enhance attention and creativity. </p><p><span class="main">Perception of educational material must be in a state of full concentration on it.</span> </p><p>Hutchison (1986, 1993) and Budzinski (1992) reported empirical studies that showed beneficial effects of use of devices of audio-visual stimulation to customize the consciousness on the assimilation of the studied material. </p><p><span class="main">AVS eliminates substantial external distractions</span> due to the filling of sensory rhythmic stimulation channels, not bearing the information. The training material submitted to this background, it becomes the dominant content of consciousness, and therefore absorbed most actively. </p><p>Considerable importance is the chosen frequency for audio-visual stimulation. For example: </p><ul> <li> to resolve a metaphorical analogue, literary problems is more suitable in <b>alpha state</b> </li> <li> for intensive calculations or logical reasoning <b>beta status</b>. </li> <li>for learning the material, requiring critical analysis, which should simply "absorb", rote memorization, it is recommended to use <b>theta state</b>. </li> </ul> <p>After a training session, consciousness requires a period of from several minutes to one hour, in order to put in long-term memory knowledge. </p><p class="main">If to strengthen this phase stay in the theta state, the depth, the vastness of associative relationships and the degree of integration of knowledge into existing baggage will increase significantly. </p><p>Notable experience with children suffering from attention deficit disorder (ADDH syndrome). Intense stimulation in areas of high alpha and beta frequency allows to compensate the natural deficit of these brain waves, and thus provides an opportunity to focus attention on the problem under study, increases academic performance. </p><p>According to M. Joyce and D. Siever (1977) during AVS stimulation of children with attention deficit disorder observed decrease impulsivity, increase perseverance and concentration, improve reading skills, expanding a positive social activity. </p><p>Positive correlation with improvement in memory and performance tests on I. Q. in the conduct of sessions of audio visual stimulation at the frequency of 12-15Hz was recorded by Thomas Budzinski and John Jordi (1993). </p><p>Russian researchers are seriously engaged in applied aspects of audio-visual stimulation A. V. Patrushev. Conducting an experiment among the students of the law Institute, he <span class="main">recorded an increase of intellectual abilities on the test of Amthauer after fifteen sessions of AVS</span>, lasting thirty minutes each. </p> <p>A. V. Patrushev pointed out that "regular practice (15-20 minutes a day for 3 weeks) alpha-theta of relaxation, as a rule, lead to significant and sustained personality changes in the direction of increase of creative abilities, a significant increase in stress resistance, increased commitment, improved self-understanding, health.
