Abacus: Right Brain Development

Recent studies have shown that the abacus method of mental calculation is effective in the development of the right brain. At first, this idea was only a hypothesis, but the recent development of high-tech machinery has helped provide tangible research data. In this section, we will present information provided by researchers who study the effects of abacus training.

The Ripple Effects Of Abacus Learning

• The first effect is improvement of numerical memory.
  

• The second is improvement of memory in spatial arrangement.

• The third is progress in solving general mathematical problems taught in elementary school, including the four fundamental arithmetic calculations and word problems.
