Lexia Cross-Trainer: Visual-Spatial: Lexia Learning Systems.www.lexialearning.com Software, $800 (1 workstation)-$40,000 (unlimited workstations) This application aims to help learning disabled, special needs and mainstream students ages six to adult strengthen their thinking, memory and problem solving problem solving Process involved in finding a solution to a problem. Many animals routinely solve problems of locomotion, food finding, and shelter through trial and error. abilities. The first module focuses on improving 22 skills that include visualization Using the computer to convert data into picture form. The most basic visualization is that of turning transaction data and summary information into charts and graphs. Visualization is used in computer-aided design (CAD) to render screen images into 3D models that can be viewed from all , visual memory, mental rotation, visual tracking, spatial orientation and multi-perspective coordination. The interactive software works with a standard video game controller. Its five activities include: Waterworld, where students improve their figure-ground perception by creating patterns; Tangram, where students enhance their spatial relations Noun 1. spatial relation - the spatial property of a place where or way in which something is situated; "the position of the hands on the clock"; "he specified the spatial relations of every piece of furniture on the stage" position skills by completing puzzles from memory; Spatial Delivery, where students strengthen their spatial directionality di·rec·tion·al adj. 1. Of or indicating direction: an automobile's directional lights. 2. Electronics Capable of receiving or sending signals in one direction only. 3. and memory by completing a three dimensional navigational activity; Flips, where students improve their visualization of objects by duplicating shapes after they've been rotated rotated turned around; pivoted. rotated tibia see rotated tibia. ; and Cubes, where students visualize objects from different perspectives. Among its features are a built-in assessment tool, which places students at the appropriate skill level within the different activities, and a summary screen at the end of each activity that displays progress. Future modules of Lexia Cross-Trainer will address logic, following instructions, verbal expression Noun 1. verbal expression - the communication (in speech or writing) of your beliefs or opinions; "expressions of good will"; "he helped me find verbal expression for my ideas"; "the idea was immediate but the verbalism took hours" verbalism, expression and sound imaging.
