An Empirical Study on the Effect of Brain Optimization Training on English Vocabulary Memory and Mathematical Logical Reasoning Ability in Children Aged 6–8

This study aims to explore the improving effect of brain optimization training on English vocabulary memory and mathematical logical reasoning ability in children aged 6 to 8. A total of 60 first and secondgrade students from a primary school in Wuhan were selected and randomly divided into an experimental group (n=30) and a control group (n=30). The experimental group received standardized brain optimization training for 8 weeks, 3 sessions per week, 25 minutes per session, while the control group participated in routine after school activities. The results showed that the post test scores of working memory, accuracy of English vocabulary memory, and mathematical logical reasoning in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (p<0.01). Brain optimization training can simultaneously promote English vocabulary acquisition and mathematical logical thinking development by improving children’s working memory capacity, inhibitory control ability, and neural coordination efficiency. The findings indicate that brain optimization training based on neural plasticity conforms to the brain development rules of lower grade primary school children and can be used as an effective auxiliary method for English and mathematics teaching.
