VIDEOCAST 10: LANGUAGE, MEMORY AND VISUOSPATIAL COGNITION
This topic is divided into two Video-casts. The First deals with Memory and the second with Language and briefly covers Visuo-spatial perception. These are three components of Cognition are essential for learning.
How to watch the videos:
WAIT FOR THE VIDEO TO LOAD (They are very big files). Volume: hover cursor over the speaker, then click on the vertical slide to increase or decrease volume. Full Screen: click on black diamond in white square on the right .
