Cognitive Remediation: A Method to Develop Your Abilities

The cognitive remediation method can provide valuable support at different stages of the educational journey:
- Students in lower and upper secondary education (Vocational training, ECG, and Gymnasium).
- University students, at UAS or in other higher education programs.
- Candidates preparing for the regulation procedure for admission to UAS-SO (see below).
- Individuals facing cognitive disorders after an accident or during adult life.
The method allows you to:
- Strengthen attention, planning, and organization.
- Improve time and space management.
- Develop language, as well as the expression of ideas and emotions.
- Promote more effective social interactions.
According to the theory of Structural Cognitive Modifiability (SCM) :
“Any human being, regardless of their current level of intellectual development, can progress at any age by developing their existing cognitive structures or creating new ones.” (Annie Cardinet, p. 98) .
Preparation for the HES-SO Regulation Procedure
The regulation procedure for admission to Universities of Applied Sciences (HES-SO) includes preparation for several aptitude tests, particularly:
- Numerical sequences.
- Abstract reasoning.
- Spatial reasoning.
It enables you to:
- Become familiar with the difficulties encountered in these tests.
- Develop the cognitive skills needed to improve performance.
- Approach the test with better preparation and greater confidence.
Note : the method does not directly cover numerical calculation tests or verbal analogies.
