Slow Processing Speed

In this presentation, we discuss processing speed and the implications for students with slow processing speed. We clarify that slow processing speed is not related to intelligence and that many individuals with slow processing speed are highly intelligent. We provide example cognitive profiles and tips for parents and teachers.

I appreciate this video. It often takes me long to process things at work, when I read, in cooking then I feel discouraged and like I'm not smart enough. I keep changing my approach on one task and end up taking longer than if I were to plan it in a way that is efficient. Executive function is definitely another area I struggle with. This is encouraging.

OMG... This is me. This is why it takes me so long to do things. Weeping...

I fell in love with your presentation, I have this problem and I use to encounter challenges. I have interest in your presentation mostly because I am studying reading support strategies for learners with dyslexia. I suspect I am dyslexic and I want to help those children struggling to learn to read. In my country, this study is the first of its kind, if God willing I complete it.

Thank you for this wonderful video! As an adult I learned that I have slow visual processing speed. It took many years to really understand how it affects me. Your video, and explanations helped me understand how this affected my childhood and what may be done to improve learning/functioning!

Thankyou. I hope I can be aware of some of this in helping my grandkids in 3rd grade now.

Thank you for this insightful video.  Most of what you've talked about rings true for me.  It takes me a long time to read a single page in a book.  I'm slower at understanding jokes, this becomes very evident in a group setting.  The world in general is far too busy and takes an intentional effort from me to manage my life to slow it down to my pace.  Pressure to process information quickly simply cancels my ability to do much of anything.

Fortunately my intelligence and comprehension are reasonably good.
In fact my need for a slower paced life has had additional benefits of learning about and comprehending the world in ways few bother with.
Abstract philosophical ideas, physics, construction, spatial ability are all interests/strengths.
Being able to hold both concepts or constructs in my mind and manipulate them, look at them from different angles, this I can do.  I just need time.
I also have APD.  Now I'm wondering if this is linked to slow processing speed.

Thanks so much for sharing some solutions. We spent a few years in occupational therapy appointments and learned that we can actually help out children at home with proper knowledge.

I need help! A.D.D and severely slow processing speed with job training and maintaining steady workflow without falling behind. I’m time blind, and my hands nerves are desirable. Forgetting what steps I’m on or instructions from written notes.

Thank you so much, I will consult you as I continue this study.

You can also engage more of your senses to engrain learning by copying/pasting narratives from slide presentations and highlighting key areas as the instructor goes through the presentation.

I have this issue as an adult, how can I improve?

[sonofgod]

Nice video 😊. I would have liked to know how that happened to an individual or why. Is it a natural mystery or the bad health habits of parents that can cause that to someone?!
