Abstract: A system and method for developing a curriculum for stimulating cognitive processing. In one embodiment the system includes an objective subsystem configured to obtain at least one goal, objectives and skills for each of the objectives from a user, and a correlation subsystem configured to assign the objectives and the skills to cognitive processing categories (CPCs), and divide the skills into information processing stage classes (IPSCs). The system further includes a sequencing subsystem configured to sequence the skills initially based upon the IPSCs and subsequently upon the CPCs. In one embodiment the method includes placing at least one goal, objectives and skills for each of the objectives into a list, and assigning the objective and the skills to CPCs. The method further includes dividing the skills into IPSCs, and arranging the skills initially based upon the IPSCs and subsequently upon the CPCs.
