Brain Training 101

What is brain Training?

Brain training is a simple but powerful way to enhance a student’s core ability to learn faster, easier, and better. The brain processes information through a complex network of nerve cells called neurons. As we learn, groupings of neurons physically work together to accomplish learning or thinking tasks. Research shows that additional, nearby neurons are drawn into this process when the task is new or unfamiliar, or when the intensity of the learning demand is increased. Once the task is mastered, the borrowed neurons are released to go back to other duties; however, the gains in efficiency and processing speed required for that task are retained and make learning-related tasks easier. 

BrainRx brain training programs consist of intense mental exercises that sharpen the core skills the brain uses to think, learn, read, reason, pay attention, prioritize, plan, understand, visualize, remember, create useful associations, and solve problems. These skills are every student’s foundation to successful learning.

Tutoring vs Brain Training – What’s the Difference?

Tutoring delivers information. Brain training improves brain performance.

Most learning struggles do not occur because information was presented poorly and needs to be re-taught. In fact, studies show that 80% of all learning struggles occur as a result of weak cognitive skills. Weak cognitive skills make learning difficult regardless of how many times that information is taught or re-taught. This is why if a student struggled to grasp and process the information the first time it was taught, simply re-teaching that information again using a tutor is not a permanent solution. In other words, while tutoring may get a child through a project or class, if weak cognitive skills aren’t strengthened, learning will continue to be a struggle. To understand the importance of cognitive skills, it is necessary to look at learning as two distinct parts: specific academic study and a student’s underlying ability to learn. To create the best opportunity for maximum academic progress, the underlying mental skills that lead to easy learning must be as strong and efficient as possible. Brain Training Addresses the Cause of Learning Struggles Information becomes knowledge through a path that relies on individual cognitive skills such as auditory and visual processing and memory. Different skill combinations are required by different learning challenges. If required skills are weak, learning that is based on those skills, will be hindered. The power of brain training is found in its ability to identify (through testing), target, and then strengthen individual cognitive skills. Individual training exercises build specific skill strength, and result in faster, easier learning. Research has shown that the brain never stops changing.

Three things BrainRx Does That Tutoring Doesn’t

Treats the Root Cause: BrainRx strengthens the weak skills that researchers say are behind most of the learning and reading struggles. In fact, 8 out of 10 students who struggle in school do so because of weak cognitive skills. The primary cause of poor learning is that many skills needed for efficient learning, which should be subconscious (automatic) are not. BrainRx brain training causes new skills to become subconscious more quickly and effectively. The result is that the child no longer has to learn to process information and can now process information to learn.

Provides Transferable Gains: BrainRx is an alternative to paying for tutoring year after year. That’s because doing BrainRx brain training now will improve how the brain performs in every topic and class for years to come.

Literally Changes How the Brain Performs: New studies are continually being released proving that intense mental exercise creates changes in the brain for improved performance. BrainRx delivers intense mental exercises for maximum results. If you or your child experience learning or reading problems, brain training can be your most effective choice to eliminate the cause of the struggle and move on to learning and reading success.

Try Brain Training Yourself

Are you ready to give your brain a workout? One of the best ways to boost your brain power is to stress your brain with intense mental exercise, kind of what you might do when working out a muscle. When you do this, it stimulates your brain to reorganize, strengthen and even add neural connections, giving you faster, more efficient brain skills. This six-minute video walks you through the first couple of levels of one of our brain training exercises. There are many more levels of this exercise that our trainers can get you to. And this is just one exercise! Our certified brain trainers have more than a hundred exercises and levels to choose from as they customize every workout to give you a faster, smarter, more efficient brain. Try it and see what you think! And if you can feel your brain working this much just from being prompted by a video, imagine what it would be like working face-to-face with a personal trainer who really knows how to push your brain beyond where you thought it could go!
