How this audio learning experience works

This audio presentation has been designed using an experiential learning model, Kolb, D. A. (1984): concrete learning, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation.

By taking this approach we hope to cater for all learning styles.

You will be given specific new information in the recording usually as "key tips", "explanations" and "quotes". You will be led through a gentle but positive meditative reflection process to assist you before conceptualisation and then putting your new skills into practice.

You will be encouraged to return to the recording from time to time to re-listen and reinforce your learning and the desired changes in your life.

Enjoy!

      This short production explores a variety of simple techniques to improve concentration and productivity. Aidan Moran, professor of cognitive psychology and director of the Psychology Research Laboratory at University College, Dublin, presents a basic study on how concentration works, how it's influenced by personal attitudes towards the tasks at hand, and why it's hard to keep one's focus throughout the full scope of a project. The production includes several straightforward exercises and is geared toward both students and athletes. Moran's narration is calm and clean, but his lovely Irish accent doesn't quite make up for some stiltedness. Nonetheless, the presentation provides a serviceable introduction to practical focusing strategies. A.H.A. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
