Utilization is dependent upon how efficiently we have received, processed, and stored the information as well as the physical environment of the brain and the psychological environment of the child. The physical environment of the brain is influenced by the child's general health, allergies, nutrition, and respiration. Modification of diet can often improve the environment and function of the brain as can improvement of breathing. The psychological environment can greatly effect the child's performance. The learning environment needs to be positive and reinforcing in order for the child's function to truly reflect his ability to learn and perform.
Inefficiencies associated with learning and attending are universal.
Such inefficiencies can also be universally eliminated if we approach them specifically in terms of the child's ability to receive, process, store, and utilize information.
