The BrainSkills Core Exercise Program
The brain can be exercised to improve mental (cognitive) function. Stronger cognitive skills can make learning easier and faster.
Not all brain training is created equal. Mental activity in general is a good thing. Doing crossword puzzles and any type of video game, especially educational video games can help. But these types of activities have limited capacity to correct weak cognitive skills associated with learning, especially reading.
Dr. Gibson has been working for over 35 years to fine tune the right types of brain exercises in the right combination and delivery to optimize results. BrainSkills is based upon his successful clinical programs that have helped over 25,000 students unlock their learning potential. The published results from his clinical programs far exceed any publish results available from competing programs.
There are a growing number of online brain training programs available. If you or your child has weak cognitive skills, most of these programs can help. There is an abundance of scientific research demonstrating that cognitive skills can be enhanced.
But if you are going to devote the time and money to improve your cognitive skills, why not go with the best and most comprehensive program that was developed based upon the leading clinical program?
BrainSkills consists of a series of 10 different exercises that train a variety of key cognitive skills that impact learning and reading.
The recommended protocol is to work on the exercises one hour per day, five days a week for 12-15 weeks. Depending upon each student's beginning skill level, intensity of training and needs, the training period can be shorter or longer.
Overview of the Core Cognitive Skills and Exercises in BrainSkills
The Core Cognitive Skill Exercises help to build the cognitive skills (mental skills, intelligence, learning skills, learning tools and processing skills) that form the foundation for learning capacity. Any core cognitive skill that is weak generally makes learning difficult. These include processing speed, attention, memory, visual processing (VP), auditory processing (AP) and logic and reasoning. Each of the core exercises overlaps several cognitive skills, builds a different specific combination of skills and each is focused on different primary cognitive skills.
