Improving Concentration: Evaluating And Improving Concentration And Performance

Improving Concentration: Evaluating and Improving Concentration and Performance by Roy Bailey & Elvie Brown

Improving Concentration has been designed to help individuals improve their concentration skills. It is aimed primarily at those taking on a training role in relation to the individual concerned. However, it can also be used by the individuals themselves as a self-help resource.

This resource will help trainers to convey to their students:

• an understanding of concentration
• how concentration works for them
• how to improve their concentration skills
• how to manage concentration in relation to their performance

This Psychological skills training resource is arranged in a format that is both easy to use and clear to follow. The activities can be used with both individual students and groups.

• Part 1 ‘The knowledge base’ outlines theoretical perspectives on concentration and describes the Bailey / Brown model of concentration.
• Part 2 'Pathways to improving concentration' explains and describes how the Bailey / Brown model of concentration can be used as a guide to raising awareness, understanding, monitoring and evaluating interventions aimed at improving concentration in people.
• Part 3 ‘The activities’ in this resource can be used singly or combined as part of a structured intervention to improve an individual’s concentration skills.
