Flash cards originated in the United States in the 1960s. It is a visual stimulation card invented by American GLENN DOMAN based on his educational theory. Quickly convey information to the baby by flashing cards to stimulate the right brain development of children and improve children's mathematical ability, language literacy reading ability and common sense ability.

Doman founded the Institute for Human Potential Development in Philadelphia in 1955. The Doman teaching method invented by the institute (in which flash cards are used as the main teaching tool) was mainly used in the treatment of brain-damaged children in the early days, and was later found to be effective in healthy children. Very good promotion effect.

How were flashcards invented?

Doman invented the flashcard based on the following theory:

?0 to 6 years old is a critical period of human growth

Doman believes that infants and toddlers between the ages of 0 and 6 can not only learn mathematics, literacy and reading, but also enjoy learning very much. However, because people have not realized that reading is the need for brain development of infants and young children for a long time, they cannot provide opportunities and conditions for infants and young children to recognize words and read in time, so that the development of visual pathways of infants and young children's brains is delayed.

?Critical period of right brain development

Doman also believes that the human brain actually begins to develop from the right brain, and the development of the right brain starts from the fetal period and continues until the age of three, while the transition period from the right brain to the left brain is from three to six years old. . From the age of six, children enter the left-brain era. At this point, the right-brain function of young children has disappeared. Therefore, in terms of brain function, young children have genius abilities that adults cannot match.

The functions of the right brain and the left brain are completely different. The left brain is called the verbal brain, which uses verbal communication to think logically; while the right brain is called the impression brain, which has the ability to communicate without words. It does not need words or logic, and can grasp information by intuition. Impressions are clearly obtained. Therefore, the right brain of a child before the age of three is the impression brain, which is in a state of high-speed computer skills.

When a child looks at a question, the right hemisphere has used the automatic processing function to answer the question, and the answer becomes an impression. Let infants and young children look at the dot cards and cultivate quick computing power, because moving the dot cards at high speed activates the right brain and enables the high-speed computer to play a role.

Last few words

We know that in the process of language acquisition, listening, speaking, writing and reading are closely linked. Spoken language precedes written language, and writing must be supported by spoken language. This is the logic of children's natural language learning. Children before the age of one will absorb the voice of their parents through continuous "listening", and gradually imitate our language to express themselves.

In the real context, children learn the logic of speech, the meaning of expression, and the cognition of communicating with others, and finally can they match words and words to understand the meaning.

This process is closely related and interlocked. The foundation of reading is comprehension. If you don't understand the meaning behind the words, even if you can recognize tens of millions of words, what's the point?
