NEURO-VIA NEUROPSYCHIATRY
(The Audio-visual systems of Neurodevelopment)
What is the Neuro-via System, how does it work?
In studies on neuroplasticity, it has been shown that early cognitive exercises contribute to neurodevelopment. In particular, the fact that the development process of executive functions takes years has made it important to carry out studies that support brain development during this period. In other words, studies conducted before
Based on this, attention and focus exercises have been designed to accelerate children's development and to activate executive functions—primarily executive functions such as working memory, short-term memory, planning, organization, visual focus, thinking skills, judgment, paying attention to details, part-whole relationships, and performing sequential operations. These exercises concern the fields of neurodevelopment and neuropsychiatry and were begun to be developed in 2007 by Abalı O, MD, who has focused his academic career in this field. Initially created attention and focus system has been continuously improved and updated in light of scientific studies, assessments, and clinical data. In 2016, a system called neuro-via was created (The Audio-visual systems of neurodevelopment). This system aims, just like the functioning of an orchestra, to strengthen certain brain regions by training them with exercises of specific dose and intensity. The AFEP program is a clinically based program whose benefits in children have been scientifically demonstrated. In neuropsychological tests, significant improvements are observed after AFEP implementation.
What is the difference between AFEP A, B, and C?
Planning is important in learning activities. Especially, a system that progresses from simple to complex increases motivation. The distribution of exercises within AFEP by age is as follows; approximately 20% of around 400 exercises are easier than the relevant age level, 15% of the exercises are more difficult than the age level, and the remaining exercises are aimed to be at
In the AFEP program, Book A mainly contains easier exercises. In Book C, there are more difficult exercises. In this regard, ideally, the student should start with Book A and gradually progress to Book C, which constitutes the most optimal learning system.
In AFEP studies, there is a system that progresses from easy to difficult and from simple to complex. In this respect, it is necessary to study the A book first, then the B book, and then the C book. In this way, a continuous and ideal learning system has been created without causing boredom. This distinction was developed through clinical and individual evaluations by an expert author in the field.
What is the scientific basis behind AFEP exercises?
Fields such as neuropsychiatry, neuropsychology, and psychiatry are related to this area. Scientists working in neuroscience, in particular, conduct brain research. These studies have helped generate different bodies of knowledge in areas such as memory, learning, attention, working memory, and executive functions. In particular, the field of neuropsychiatry has focused on studies aimed at strengthening normal brain development, starting from areas of impairment. Studies on neurodevelopment occupy a central position in this field.
AFEP exercises, unlike the standard education system, are entirely focused on brain development. They aim for students to use knowledge without directly providing information, to build the foundations of reading and learning skills, and to improve the functioning of attention and learning systems. In this case, the existing intelligence capacity will reveal itself more effectively, and success will increase naturally.
Neuro-via (The Audio-visual systems of Neurodevelopment) System
As is known, “attention and learning” is a neuropsychological process that takes place in the brain. This process is a highly complex mechanism that involves not only what is seen, but also the brain’s processing functions. I have worked to support this system by conducting numerous scientific studies on how the attention and learning system works and how it is stimulated. In my 25 years of professional life, I have seen countless students and have studied how these processes work. I have conducted research on which neuropsychological mechanisms stimulate these systems and how the right and left brain activity systems function. What is important is to establish a system in which all perceptual mechanisms in the brain are functioning together.
People who are not experts in the field should stay away from attention and learning domains. Because this field is a scientific area based on a neuropsychological foundation. It is necessary to calculate which brain area is activated by which exercise, how much of this work is required, its counterpart in the brain, and its counterpart in learning.
Here is the completely scientific and academic NEURO-VIA (The Audio-visual systems of Neurodevelopment) system, an algorithm created by myself, in which neurological systems are operated with visual and auditory stimuli. In this algorithm, it is aimed to maximize multi-dimensional working processes, attention, and learning mechanisms. You can think of it as operating an orchestra with hundreds of musical instruments in perfect harmony. Which exercise, how much, in what number, and at what intensity should be practiced has been scientifically calculated and presented. This system has been prepared for our children and young people.
The guidance and work of people who are not experts in the field are not only unhelpful but can also dull certain neurodevelopmental areas. From this perspective, the attention enhancement set working with the Neurovia system has been created by myself, who has original, academic work in this field and has the distinction of being the first and only in this area at both national and international levels. Our children are our most valuable assets in life, and I continue my work so that they can reach better places. Take care..
