MEMORY - Repeat to remember. Remember to repeat.

SENSORY INTEGRATION - Stimulate more of the senses.

VISION - Vision trumps all other senses.

STRESS - Stressed brains don't learn the same way.

SLEEP - Sleep well, think well.

EXERCISE - Exercise boosts brain power.

MUSIC - Study or listen to boost cognition.
