עקרון: Skills aren't independent. Working Memory → enables Task Switching. Teach in wrong order = 12-week plateau. Graph shows prerequisites.
🌳 Skill Hierarchy (ML-learned from 50K+ children):
Sustained Attention
Unlocks: Working Memory, Response Inhibition
Working Memory
Requires: Sustained Attention
Unlocks: Task Switching, Planning
Response Inhibition
Requires: Sustained Attention
Unlocks: Impulse Control, Self-Monitoring
Task Switching
Requires: Working Memory
Unlocks: Flexible Problem Solving
Planning
Requires: Working Memory
Unlocks: Time Management, Goal Setting
Critical Dependencies
Task Switching
Requires mastery: Working Memory
Risk: Child cannot switch tasks even if understands rule. Builds on WM foundation.
Planning
Requires mastery: Working Memory
Risk: Cannot hold multi-step plan in mind. Collapses after step 2.
Time Management
Requires mastery: Planning + Sustained Attention
Risk: Cannot estimate time needed. Chronic underestimation.
❌ Wrong Order = Plateau
Teach Planning (level 3) before Working Memory mastery
Result: 12-week stall. Child never gets it.
Fix: Restart: WM first (4 weeks), then Planning (3 weeks)
✅ Optimal Skill Sequence (AI-Recommended):
1-4
Sustained Attention
→ Next: WM + Response Inhibition
5-8
Working Memory
→ Next: Task Switching + Planning
9-11
Task Switching
→ Next: Flexible Problem Solving
12-15
Planning
→ Next: Time Management
✅ System Safeguard:
System blocks skill X until prerequisite is 80%+ mastered. Auto-recommends sequence. Prevents 12-week plateaus from wrong order.
