Download or read book Hearing Equals Behavior Updated and Expanded written by Guy Berard, MD and published by eBooks2go, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are a parent or teacher working with individuals who struggle to process auditory and sensory information, you will find that this book offers new understanding of these problems, and most importantly, explains the intervention called Berard auditory integration training (AIT). This 10-hour training program reorganizes the dysfunctional auditory and sensory center so the brain no longer gets overloaded with confusing information. Berard AIT is regarded as the most effective approach available for enhancing listening skills, language, learning, sound tolerance, and sensory modulation. Evaluation of learning and behavior difficulties should include how the individual hears. Are there distortions, timing delays, misperceptions, sequencing problems? These disruptions will interfere with processing until the auditory system is reorganized and balanced. Pre- and post-test data provided in this book demonstrates the types of improvements that may be observed after this 10-day retraining program. Readers will understand how listening and learning can "switch on" when the auditory system is rebalanced and functioning effectively. Studies show that this short-term intervention leads to long-term achievement when distortions, timing delays, and misperceptions in processing are eliminated. This 300-page book explains the concepts underlying Dr. Berard's method and how he developed his retraining program through years of detailed clinical observations. Professionals familiar with Berard AIT recommend his program for those struggling with learning and behavior.

Download or read book On the Self Regulation of Behavior written by Charles S. Carver and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-05-07 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a thorough overview of a model of human functioning based on the idea that behavior is goal-directed and regulated by feedback control processes. It describes feedback processes and their application to behavior, considers goals and the idea that goals are organized hierarchically, examines affect as deriving from a different kind of feedback process, and analyzes how success expectancies influence whether people keep trying to attain goals or disengage. Later sections consider a series of emerging themes, including dynamic systems as a model for shifting among goals, catastrophe theory as a model for persistence, and the question of whether behavior is controlled or instead 'emerges'. Three chapters consider the implications of these various ideas for understanding maladaptive behavior, and the closing chapter asks whether goals are a necessity of life. Throughout, theory is presented in the context of diverse issues that link the theory to other literatures.
