Come support Benjamin, Vikaesh, Yu Yong and Shawn Ang in the Finals of the 'National PowerMind Championship 2009'.
They will be pitting their wits against participants from St. Anthony's Pri and AMK Pri @ Suntec City, Hall 602, at 4pm this Sunday.
Areas of Competition
1) Processing Speed – Speed of how quickly information is absorbed by the brain to decide whether it is irrelevant (ignore) or of great relevance, in which it is stored in the working memory for manipulation.
Analogy – Central Processing Unit (CPU) of a PC.
2) Logic and Reasoning - Deductive and Inductive Reasoning Skills to solve a given problem, given a set of formulas, principles, steps. Heavily used in Math where problem-solving skills are needed.
3) Working Memory – For retaining, storing and retrieving of information. Stores all incoming information while deciding to transfer to memory bank (important) or delete after an output has been achieved.
Analogy – Random Access Memory (RAM) of a PC. Heavily used in Science where facts about Systems (circulatory, respiratory, digestive), Patterns (Life Cycles, Water Cycle, Day and Night Cycle) are required to solve problems.
4) Visual Processing – Spatial skills, the ability to manipulate mental objects in the mind. Heavily used in Math and reading and writing (Language) where interactions between characters, events development and conclusions are formed in the mind to facilitate comprehension.
5) Auditory Analysis – For verbal and spatial communication. Auditory segmentation, blending and discrimination to pick up spoken words.
Come on down & be part of this exciting competition!
