Cognitive+(Memory)+and+Podcasting

Cognitive memory and podcasting can go hand in hand for children who have trouble memorizing things. Some children, no matter how many times they are shown or told what something is, can not cognitively grasp the concept. For some instances, ones short term memory may be better than their long term memory (or vice versa). Children can be either visual learners or auditory learners. If they are both, and their memory is still not remembering information properly, then something cognitively is wrong. Having this disability, hinders a student to strive to full potential. If they do not have the extra resources that they may need to do better, they will fall behind. With this assisted technology, anything can be done to help this disabled person. When adding in a podcast, this can especially help an auditory learner much more than a visual learner. A podcast will help a student listen to a lecture or words from an instructor and they will be able to replay it as many times as they would like. This is beneficial for them because it will help them to hear the information more so they can grasp the concept in their brain. Memory can take much repetition and with podcasts, students will be able to use that repetition frequently. Podcasts can not only add the auditory part, but someone can also make their own podcast using their own voice so it may be more beneficial to them. If it's easier to record someone else's voice, than that can be done as well. Helping ones cognitive memory and using podcasts can benefit a student. Learning to memorize information and be able to process it will help with the use of a podcast.
