US Patent:
6726486, Apr 27, 2004
Filed:
Sep 26, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/965530
Inventors:
Elizabeth H. Budra - Albany CA
Elizabeth C. Cottle - San Francisco CA
Logan E. De Ley - San Leandro CA
Jefferson A. Dewey - San Francisco CA
William M. Jenkins - Pacifica CA
Virginia A. Mann - Laguna Beach CA
Steven L. Miller - Pacifica CA
Assignee:
Scientific Learning Corp. - Oakland CA
International Classification:
G09B 500
US Classification:
434169, 434167, 434236, 434307 R, 434362, 704251
Abstract:
A computer program for execution on a computing device is provided to cross-train students in language development skills such as letter-word correspondence, word recognition, vocabulary, and sentence and paragraph comprehension. A set of programs provide an adaptive methodology for training a student in decoding (semantic, syntactic, phonological, and morphological relationships), knowledge of rhymes, synonyms, antonyms, and homophones, spelling, letter-word correspondences, sentence comprehension, grammatical comprehension, working memory, vocabulary, paragraph comprehension, and improved reading comprehension. In each program, students are presented with an animated scene that poses a question, and a set of answers. The set of answers contain a correct response, and a number of incorrect responses or foils. The student advances to more complex levels by satisfying predetermined correct thresholds.

Method And Apparatus For Reporting Progress Of A Subject Using Audio/Visual Adaptive Training Stimulii

View page
US Patent:
6290504, Sep 18, 2001
Filed:
Oct 8, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/415885
Inventors:
Angela Jane Benitz - San Francisco CA
Elizabeth H. Budra - Albany CA
William M. Jenkins - Pacifica CA
John J. Montgomery - Oakland CA
Assignee:
Scientific Learning Corp. - Berkely CA
International Classification:
G09B 1904
US Classification:
434185
Abstract:
An apparatus and method on a computing device for training of auditory and graphical discrimination in humans is provided. The method and apparatus provides a number of stimulus sets, each stimulus set having a number of different phonemes. Speech processing is used to provide multiple levels of emphasis and or stretching for enhancing a subject's ability to discriminate between similarly sounding phonemes. The processing is applied to phonemes and presented to the human as a trial. As a subject correctly identifies phonemes in the stimulus sets, the amount of processing applied to the phonemes is reduced, ultimately to the level of normal speech. A performance feedback mechanism is provided to allow the human to obtain a summary of his/her success over the stimulus sets, at the different processing levels. More detailed feedback is also provided indicating specific processing levels achieved for each of the stimulus sets. Selection buttons are provided on a graphical interface to allow the human to hear a stimulus set at his beginning processing level, and at his currently obtained processing level.
