Cognitive Enhancement through Abacus Training: A Neurodevelopmental Perspective
Mazhaithuligal Academy is being run by the most experienced Abacus Trainers in India (Mr.Murali and Mrs.Shanthi since 2001).
We are privileged to introduce ourselves as pioneers in the field of cognitive skill development through abacus-based training in and around Salem district. With a legacy spanning 25 years and an extensive reach that has positively transformed over 18,000 young minds, Mazhaithuligal Academy has been a driving force in the enhancement of neurocognitive capabilities in children.
Our journey began as a franchisee of U C MAS Mental Arithmetic (I) Pvt. Ltd, a distinguished national entity affiliated with Malaysian U C MAS. Over the years, our contributions to the field have earned national accolades, such as the titles of “The Best Abacus Trainers in India” and “The Best Abacus Centre in India,” bestowed upon us seven times. We have scored Grade 2 Certificate from Zhusuan Association, China. (Highest Grade Certificate for Abacus Trainers in India)
In 2011, we transitioned into our own brand, Mazhaithuligal Academy, establishing nine franchise centers across Salem and its neighboring regions. This expansion is a testament to the transformative impact our programs have had, with many parents advocating for new centers after witnessing significant neurocognitive advancements in their children.
At Mazhaithuligal Academy, our approach is rooted in inclusivity and a commitment to neuroplasticity-driven training. Our program leverages targeted cognitive exercises, designed to stimulate areas of the brain responsible for memory consolidation, visual-spatial processing, and executive function. Through rigorous training protocols, consistent reinforcement, and systematic follow-up, we facilitate the development of advanced mental faculties.
Our curriculum incorporates weekly hands-on sessions, coupled with structured parental support for daily practice, ensuring the reinforcement of neural pathways associated with arithmetic cognition and sustained attention. To maximize cognitive gains, we emphasize the integration of these practices within school environments, where regular engagement promotes efficient synaptic growth and enhanced neurocognitive performance.
Neurodevelopmental Outcomes: With 26 years of applied experience, we have consistently observed significant improvements across multiple domains of cognitive function, including:
- Enhanced Working Memory: Strengthened capacity to retain and manipulate information in real-time.
- Visual-Spatial Memory: Improved ability to visualize and recall complex patterns.
- Selective Attention and Multitasking: Proficiency in concentrating on multiple tasks simultaneously, with concurrent mind calculation.
- Accelerated Learning Rates: Increased neural efficiency in acquiring and processing new information.
- Executive Function and Logical Reasoning: Heightened decision-making capabilities and rapid problem-solving.
The culmination of these neurocognitive advancements ensures that every child completing our program emerges with remarkable academic and non-academic proficiencies. Importantly, our methodology demonstrates that baseline intelligence or initial cognitive ability is not a determinant of success. Instead, the structured and deliberate stimulation of neural pathways ensures that all participants achieve an exceptional level of cognitive excellence.
By instilling these lifelong skills, Mazhaithuligal Academy continues to pioneer innovative solutions to nurture and unleash the latent genius within every child. We are happy to see that our children as Doctors, Auditors, IITians and Govt officers.
