Remember to Remember

The learning difficulties are caused, among others, by metacognitive deficiencies (i.e. areas of planning, control, self reflection, etc.). Metacognitive skills begin to develop in early childhood...

The main objective of the project was to develop a tool for Remember to Remember training, particularly for the group of children with learning disabilities and/or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This tool can be used by children and trained special pedagogs and school counsellors, practicing can also be done at home. Next to the main objective of developing a tool, the other project's objective was the practical verification of a metacognitive-training intervention in children with ASD or learning disabilities with the help of a distance supportive rehabilitation evaluation tool Proxy QB and last but not least objective was broadening of the possibilities of intervention activities for children with ASD and/or learning disabilities. A final project aim was to expend the scientific research and knowledge about the topic of metacognitive rehabilitation and prospective memory training. Preparation of the research monograph was therefore the next project objective. The intended scientific contribution of the project was to add to current research on the construct of prospective memory specifically in autism spectrum disorders and learning disabilities.
