Abstract

The Words & Concepts Series consists of three instructional programs and three companion game programs. Each Words & Concepts program uses a core vocabulary of 40 referential nouns in six related training modules that cover noun identification, categorization, function, noun association, as well as the concepts same and different. CONCENTRATE! Words & Concepts game program is designed to exercise short term memory while reinforcing the lessons of the Words & Concepts instructional programs. Students compete with themselves or others, trying to find pairs based on vocabulary, category, word identification by function, or word association. Categorization problems are encountered by children with language-learning disabilities as well as those with mental retardation
