Improving Concentration: Evaluating and Improving Concentration and Performance by Roy Bailey & Elvie Brown

Improving Concentration has been designed to help individuals improve their concentration skills. It is aimed primarily at those taking on a training role in relation to the individual concerned. However, it can also be used by the individuals themselves as a self-help resource.

This resource will help trainers to convey to their students:

• an understanding of concentration
• how concentration works for them
• how to improve their concentration skills
• how to manage concentration in relation to their performance
