• The Ripple Effect of Abacus Learning
• Earlier only a hypothesis but now a fact, based
  on research data and high tech machinery, using
  an abacus to perform mental calculations develops
  the right brain.
• Also, besides a dramatic improvement in the
  ability to calculate, both on the abacus and
  mentally, there is a beneficial ripple effect on
  other areas of learning. The first is an
  improvement of numerical memory, next memory in
  spatial arrangement and last advancement in
  solving general mathematical problems taught in
  elementary school, including the four fundamental
  
• Arithmeticoperations
• addition, subtraction, multiplication and
  division and word problems.
• The enhancement in the numerical memory is
  possible because abacus learners place numbers on
  the image of an abacus in their imagination as
  they mentally calculate with the abacus method.
  An assignment to remember three to nine digit
  numbers read aloud, memorized and orally recited
  would decide the extent of the numerical memory
  of learners. Abacus learners were found to be far
  superior in the accuracy of their memory and the
  number of digits they were able to memorize when
  compared to the non-abacus learners. The abacus
  image in their imagination also helped them
  recite the memorized numbers backwards. This
  could only happen because of the application of
  the procedures used in the abacus method of
  calculation in approaching the memory assignment.
