Typical for smart kids and adults?

Travis* (9) acted very distracted when he came to our office for his third coaching session:
he seemed to be restless, nervous and finally calmed down when I asked him to build his feelings with LEGO.

At the same time he overheard every word of my conversation with his mother and made several times very intelligent spontaneous comments:" I hate when you or my teacher asks me the same question 3 times in a row. If I am interested, I get it right away. If not, repeating it makes me angry and I shut down."

Repeating a new message in his own words might help Travis* very effectively to use his associative memory to connect it with facts he knows already or similar situations he is familiar with. Behavioral research describes associative memory as ability to recognize patterns quickly and to connect events that are unlinked.

Once these links are established in the nervous system there is no need for repetition: Associative memory operates faster and is more reliable than 'normal' memory.

Still wondering about Travis'* comment?
