Feuerstein, R., Falik, L. H., and Feuerstein, R. S. , Kristina Bohacs. Foreword by Yvette Jackson.

While self-talk like ''Now we are buckling you in the car seat so we can go to the store'' is common parental practice, this book shows how teachers, parents, and therapists can take this to higher levels to advance language cognitive development and learning potential. Based on neuroscience and their own innovative work, the authors provide the rationale and a step-by-step process for using intentional self-talk and think-aloud methods to improve language and cognitive development in normal and language-delayed children, as well as in older individuals with disabilities. Stories are sprinkled throughout the text to demonstrate mediated self-talk in action and the results achieved with real children. The book describes the concept of mediated soliloquy (MSL), or self-talk, with individuals or classrooms where and how it can be applied, and illustrates the use of MSL to improve both language and interpersonal function with children exhibiting delays, spectrum behavior, and social difficulties.

A Think - Aloud and Talk - Aloud Approach to Building Language $30.95

Feuerstein, R., Falik, L. H., and Feuerstein, R. S

Originally developed to help students overcome learning obstacles created by emotional trauma or neurobiological learning disabilities, Reuven Feuerstein's work is now used in major cities around the world to support impoved thinking and learning by all students. This book is the most up-to-date summary of his thinking and includes accessible descriptions of his tools and methods for cognitive modifiability and mediated learning. With dramatic case studies throughout, Feuerstein and his co-authors define intelligence as a dynamic force that drives the human organism to change the structure of thinking in order to answer the needs it encounters. They describe in detail the specific skills of the three stages of thinking: input or oberservation and data-gathering stage; development or processing stage; and output stage including analysis, synthesis, and communication.

Biblical and Talmudic Antecedents of Mediated Learning

Feuerstein, S

An analysis of the concepts of mediated learning experience as they are rooted in Judaic thinking. Sources from the Torah (Bible), Talmud (elaborated commentaries on biblical themes) and other related writings of Jewish and secular scholars are used to define and deepen the meaning of mediated learning experience. The reader will gain insight into processes of questioning, ways of learning to decipher meaning, and relate this study to cultural transmission and the issues of contemporary life.

Feuerstein, R., Falik, L. H., and Feuerstein, R. S.

In this volume Professor Reuven Feuerstein provides a first-person narrative of the development of the concept of mediated learning experience (MLE), and links it to both its philosophical and cultural roots and to issues of putting it into practice. He offers personal observations of experiences with the implementation of MLE, recalling unique case examples that helped him to further define the concept and teach it to others. He also offers new perspectives on its meaning for learning process and cultural transmissions. There are supplimental chapters from Rabbi Rafi Feuerstein, on the effects of modern media access on the development of thinking, and Dr. Shmuel Feuerstein on the use of questioning in MLE.
