Q

Luria Model

A

Mental Processing Index (MPI)
-Sequential Processing
-Simultaneous Processing
-Planning Ability
-Learning Ability

The brain operates in 3 interconnected functional systems

Block 1: Maintain Arousal
Block 2: Codes & stores information
Block 3: Plans & organizes behavior

Q

Luria Model - Block 1

A

Responsible for Maintaining Arousal and Attention

-mediating attention and concentration
-allowing for a specific focus of attention
-regulating energy level and tone of the cerebral cortex
-recognizing the significance of incoming stimuli
-processing info from the environment

Q

Luria Model - Block 2

A

Responsible for analyzing, coding, and storing information.

  • Integrating incoming sensory info to understand the world and experiences better
    -using key senses
    -using successive and simultaneous processing
    -establishing connections with Block 3

Q

Luria Model - Block 3

A

Responsible for executive functions: planning, organizing, and programming behavior

Q

Luria vs. CHC

A

FCI includes knowledge (Gc)

CHC is preferred due to the inclusion of Gc and its importance to cognitive functioning

Consider MPI for EL students or those known or suspected of speech/language limitations or autism.
