Listening to stories and brain processing of narrative material activates many areas devoted not only to the linguistic processing. In this sense, it could be hypothesized that if this activity would be integrated within the school curricula, it could bring benefits in terms of understanding the text as well as in basic essential cognitive dimensions. In a series of studies with different age groups, we investigated the effects of an intensive training in narrative listening, through different tools such as the standardized tests of understanding of the text. We also used a neuropsychological battery investigating basic cognitive processes (cognitive assessment system) that are directly related to the ability of text comprehension. Results show a significant improvement in all tests for all age groups in the experimental groups, in comparison with the control groups.

朗读叙事资料作为增强学生认知能力的手段

听故事和叙述材料的大脑处理会激活许多不仅致力于语言处理的领域。在这种意义上，可以假设，如果将这项活动整合到学校课程中，则可以在理解课文以及基本的基本认知方面带来好处。在一系列针对不同年龄段的研究中，我们通过不同的工具（例如理解文本的标准测试）调查了强化训练在叙事听力中的效果。我们还使用了神经心理学电池来研究与文本理解能力直接相关的基本认知过程（认知评估系统）。结果显示，实验组中所有年龄段的所有测试的结果都有明显改善，
