One of the followers of this blog called my attention to a useful web site that has a list of 100 things you can do to facilitate memory. Several items deal with remembering names, and others with remembering numbers and lists. Much of this information is also in my book.

In IAP Research Report # 9 (B rain rhythm treatment efficacy: Can we fine-tune our brain clocks ), it was concluded (after reviewing 23 studies) that “rhythm-based mental-timing treatments have merit for clinical use and warrant increased clinical use and research attention.” Additionally, it was concluded that: Positive treatment outcomes were reported for four forms of rhythm-based treatment . Positive outcomes were also observed for normal subjects and, more importantly, across a variety of clinical disorders (e.g., aphasia, apraxia, coordination/movement disorders, TBI, CP, Parkinson’s disease, stroke/CVA, Down’s syndrome, ADHD) Most rhythm-based brain-based interventions (the RAS, AOS-RRT and SMT treatment studies) all employed some form of auditory-based metronome to pace or cue the subjects targeted rhythmic behavior. External metronome-based rhythm tools (tapping to a beat, metronome-based rhythmic pacing, rhythmic-cuing via timed pulses/beats) is a central tool to improving temporal processing and mental-timing.

I’ve already covered the benefits of taking the June LSAT instead of the February LSAT . Generally speaking, I also believe it’s better to take June LSAT than it is to take the October and December LSATs (for admissions-related reasons). (This post is based upon the assumption that you’re taking the LSAT less than a year before you intend to apply to law school.

As a member of the Interactive Metronome Scientific Advisory Board I am often asked to review published research studies that have investigated the IM method. Recently, a investigation of the effectiveness IM (which is a mental timing -based intervnetion) with children with attention deficit disorder and developmental coordination disorders was published in the International Journal of Rehabilitation Research . The citation and abstract for the article are reproduced below.
