Comments:

  • Very repetitive and structured on the basis that this stabilises the brain networks involved in speech
  • User must achieve 6 levels of listening before they start verbal production of practised words
  • User moves on to next level automatically once competent at the previous level
  • If the user makes errors, they are automatically sent back to previous levels
  • Once course is completed, the user can return to any level, any exercises and any words to ‘revise’ items
  • Only have 3-25 secs to respond or the program marks it as a mistake
  • Sentence level exercises encourage use of the practised work in a sentence but not practising the verbal production of whole sentences. Some sentences are unusual e.g. I hate book/I like girl
