Low Processing Speed Doesn’t Mean Dumb!

When the brain is firing slower than the average person’s, this appears in tests as slow processing speed. Dan Hanks, Director of Northwest College Support in Idaho joined Lon July 8, 2015 to explain what receiving that kind of score might mean.  A low processing speed score might mean the brain fires slow but otherwise the student might be very intelligent.  But according to Dan, in his experience, not always.  It can also sometimes reflect anxiety or a turbulent environment.  Listen to Dan explain why a closer look is needed to be sure the score is being properly interpreted.
