Abstract
The roots of my research are in my work as a teacher due which I have been able to meet a variety of pupils. Already after graduating as a special teacher at the beginning of the 1990s, I came up with an idea about a doctoral thesis about supporting pupils’ cognitive skills. As I was working with children, I many times had to think whether there was any “sense” trying to increase the contents in subjects for children because often the reason that slows learning down is the lack of attentiveness or slow cognitive development.
