Problems you avoid (or mitigate) when you use General Learning Skills

1. School failure: Early detection favors intervention to prevent learning problems from becoming chronic and thus provide an appropriate educational response.


2. Problems in reading mastery and comprehension: Reading is the basis of all learning, and difficulties in reading can affect performance in any subject, including mathematics. This tool can detect which skill or skills are not sufficiently stimulated to influence it and prevent it from impacting on your reading skills.


3. Problems in learning mathematics: Mathematics is often rejected because the origin of the difficulty is not identified and it is reinforced without taking into account what is hindering its understanding. Identifying the origin of the difficulty prevents the difficulty from becoming chronic.


4. Lack of motivation and low academic self-concept: A false belief of low ability due to low or insufficient academic performance directly influences intellectual self-esteem and, therefore, motivation. Becoming aware of their abilities, how they influence their performance and how they can be stimulated, fosters their perception of control over themselves and their motivation for change.

Fast and accurate reading

Rapid, fluent, and accurate reading performance; relies on binocularity, fixations, and saccadic eye movements.

Handling hypotheses or theories

Formulation of abstract relationships between ideas or concepts, arriving at reliable hypotheses.

Spatial perspective

Mental understanding of the transformations of reality and the conservation of objects in space.

Symbolic criteria

Classification of mathematical concepts and detection of arithmetic similarities/differences for problem solving.

Auditory memory of sequences

Storage and recollection of sequential auditory information.

Peripheral incidental memory

Evocation of details that are not intentionally captured, necessary in experimental sciences and spelling.

Memory and visual attention

Retention of visually captured data; related to visual attention.

Basic reading comprehension

The relationship between language units, words, to understand sentences or paragraphs.
