Since children enter primary school, inattention can be said to be the most distressing problem for parents:
Every time the child writes homework, he always grinds, writes two questions and runs away, touches this, plays with that, and then comes back to continue writing;
The teacher reported that the child couldn't sit still in class, kept making small movements, looked around, and talked and played with the front and back tables;
Let the child read the book, he can't read it without reading a few words, and he is clamoring to play with his mobile phone to watch TV, · · ·, · ·, ·
Attention is the foundation of learning! It is undeniable that a considerable number of children with learning difficulties are due to lack of concentration, which affects the efficiency and effectiveness of learning, and the more they learn in the later stage, the more difficult they become. It can be seen that the cultivation of children's attention is an urgent matter, and it is best to guide children in time from a young age, so as not to affect future learning and habit formation.
The child's learning difficulties turned out to be attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
In February 2023, Dr. Xiong Qi's "learning difficulties" clinic of the Department of Pediatrics of Hunan Women and Children's Hospital ushered in a 7-year-old patient Dada (pseudonym), the child was brought over by his parents together, and the child's parents reluctantly told Dr. Xiong Qi that Dada has been lively and active since he was a child, and at first he thought it was just the naughty nature of boys, but he didn't expect that as soon as the front foot entered the door of the first grade, the back foot head teacher notified the parents to talk.
Dada's mother told the doctor that the child could not sit still at all in class, and there were many small movements, and sometimes he would even stand up when the teacher was lecturing, including watching movies and reading books, and he would run around when he was in class, and there was no discipline at all. Don't look at him so good at tossing, but his reaction speed is relatively slow, his listening efficiency is low, and his grades can't keep up, especially his math scores are at the bottom. In life, I often lose everything, and I always forget something every day, either I forget to bring my homework book or I forget to bring a red scarf......
It is precisely because of the child's unpleasant behavior habits that Dada has no good friends at school, and the children are all excluding him and not playing with him, Dada's personality is becoming more and more introverted.
Subsequently, Dr. Xiong Qi prescribed a series of professional examinations based on Dada's condition, and Dada was finally diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Dr. Xiong Qi told the parents of the children that children with attention deficits like Dada have been treated in the pediatric care department for many cases, and the children's attention level has been greatly improved after the intervention training! There are currently three types of treatments for ADHD:
The first is: pharmacological interventions, including: Western medicine and Chinese patent medicine;
The second is "traditional therapy", including: visual concentration training, auditory concentration training, EEG biofeedback training, music therapy, sensory integration training, auricular pressure bean therapy, etc.;
The third is "Children's Attention Digital Therapy", also known as "Children's VR Attention Peak Training", which is a lively and interesting method that allows children to improve their attention problems in play, and the earlier the intervention treatment, the more obvious the help for children's learning!
After listening to Dr. Xiong Qi's introduction, Dada's parents also consulted the child's own opinions, and finally chose "Children's VR Attention Peak Training".
Why VR can improve children's attention?
A child's ability to learn depends largely on the ability of the visual and auditory senses to receive information. VR attention training is mainly to broaden and improve the child's visual and auditory channels, the larger the channel is opened, the higher the ability to absorb knowledge, and the performance will naturally improve.
"Children's VR Attention Peak Training" is an attention testing and training system based on immersive virtual reality visual, auditory and sensory pathways, which directly targets the seven major abilities that determine children's learning: attention, perceptual ability, physical ability, computing ability, language ability, orientation ability, and memory, and conducts training and reinforcement.
VR attention training can allow children to complete tasks independently in virtual situations, actively mobilize relevant neural activities, and fully stimulate children's inner potential. Its "physical passive" characteristics refer to the fact that it only provides children with rich situational and information feedback, and does not apply physical stimuli such as electricity and magnetism to children, without any adverse effects.
Through big data and intelligent testing and evaluation, the feasibility of "teaching students according to their aptitude" has been greatly improved: the children's attention test can have an in-depth understanding of the status of children's attention ability and other cognitive abilities, and better meet the needs of students' personalized learning.
It took only 10 months to go from "learning difficulties" to "active learning".
Before the formal training, the doctor first gave Dada an attention test, in the "evaluation report", in the first test, Dada's hearing was not understood, and most of the visual quotient was weak, especially the alertness and attention quotient were double low scores, which suggested that Dada's missing information was relatively large, and the attention ability was extremely weak, and the comprehensive test grade was displayed as "D grade".
For the next 4 months, Dada maintained the training frequency three times a week, completing 60 training sessions in the first stage, and the results of the training were amazing! Dada's total score has increased from no score (abnormality) to 101 points, and the grade has been upgraded to B+, with all quotients increasing to varying degrees, especially the attention quotient, which has improved greatly. This means that his attention level has made a qualitative leap, and he is already at the upper middle level among his peers!
At this time, Dada's parents still did not give up, and planned to continue to consolidate the treatment, and in the next 6 months, Dada completed 60 training sessions again. During this period, Dada's overall score continued to rise, from 101 to 106, and the grade rose from B+ to A-. The overall visual and auditory quotient is on the rise.
Dada's performance has improved significantly this year, with significant improvements in attention and reading. Compared with the dejected and expressionless appearance when he first came to train, he has been judged to be like two people, and now he has light in his eyes, full of confidence, flexible thinking, and quick response.
Corresponding to the learning, the changes shown are also very amazing, parents feedback that they can sit still in class, often praised by the teacher, the teacher said that Dada is the most focused child in the class, will listen carefully in class, and often raise his hand to answer questions, but also consciously write homework, make a review plan for himself, and his grades have also improved.
In the past, I couldn't read independently, and my mother would often walk away or interrupt when I accompanied me to read, but now I can read the whole book independently, and I have read many books at home. The training teacher reported that during the 10 months of continuous training, I felt that the child's ability to receive and output information was significantly stronger!
To improve children's learning ability, choose the pediatric care department of Strawberry Hospital
The Learning Difficulties Clinic of the Department of Pediatrics of Strawberry Hospital has not only established a traditional diagnosis and treatment system, but also actively participated in various cutting-edge technology exchange activities of the Hunan Digital Medicine Society, and innovatively introduced the digital therapy project of "Children's Attention Peak Training System", which is in line with the laws of children's cognitive and physiological development, and the content is realistic, lively, lively and interesting. The most rare thing is to help students improve their neural connections, improve their learning ability and academic performance, and lay a good foundation for children's all-round development and mental and brain health.
At the same time, the hospital will invite medical experts and education experts to conduct parent salons with themes such as "Brain Science and Education", "Concentration and Learning Ability", and "Cultivation of Scholars" from time to time, so that parents can accompany their children's recovery and growth while also getting continuous parenting concept learning and reducing the troubles in family education.
VR attention intervention training fills the gap of traditional treatment and completes the following three breakthroughs:
1. Immersion
First of all, through VR technology, we can create a vivid and realistic virtual environment, simulating a variety of training equipment, training scenarios and operation processes that can promote the development of children's attention and cognitive function. On the premise of saving a large number of field equipment, it solves the problem that children's attention education cannot be popularized in the real family environment due to training venues, training equipment, teaching resources and other reasons.
Moreover, gamified VR situational teaching can bring children an immersive sense of immersion, fully mobilize children's enthusiasm, and actively mobilize the relevant nervous system to carry out activities.
2. Personalization
In terms of training content, the application of VR technology can accurately capture the behavior data in the training process, and the attention training program can be customized for the child after data comparison and analysis. The specific virtual training content and difficulty constructed according to the child's own characteristics can "check and fill in the gaps" of the child's cognitive ability in all aspects, and enhance the child's visual, auditory, moving, tactile and other perceptual abilities, so as to promote the healthy development of the brain nervous system.
3. Comprehensiveness
In terms of training methods, with the help of VR equipment, children can not only get effective attention and cognitive training in the virtual world, but also comprehensively improve their comprehensive ability and improve brain function through systematic training tasks. For example, children are immersed in training tasks, need to coordinate audio-visual senses, musical rhythms, and body movements for training, and need to actively mobilize a certain degree of attention and memory to complete the challenge step by step......
The whole training process in the VR environment is of great help to children's coordination ability, problem-solving ability, independent learning ability, self-confidence, memory and attention training.
