LearningRx Shares Reported Improvements and Test Results After Brain Training
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., February 9, 2018 (Newswire.com) - The world’s largest personal brain training company, LearningRx (www.LearningRx.com) has launched www.learningrx.com/parents-of-children-with-attention-struggles-review-learningrx to share reviews from parents of children with attention struggles who have gone through a LearningRx one-on-one brain training program.
ADHD and attention struggles are concerns LearningRx deals with quite frequently. In fact, they account for about one-third of their clientele.
We found that most of our students with ADHD, in addition to weak broad attention skills, had weak memory and processing speed skills.
Tanya Mitchell, LearningRx Chief Research and Development Officer
“About 30 percent of our clients were diagnosed with ADHD before coming to us,” says Tanya Mitchell, vice president of research and development for LearningRx. “We found that most of those students, in addition to weak broad attention skills, had weak long-term memory, processing speed and working memory.”
In an ADHD randomized controlled trial, the LearningRx training group listed their top improvements in this order: Academic Performance, Confidence & Self-Esteem, Relationships with Others, Self-Discipline, Sports Performance and Sleep Habits.
According to Mitchell, these clusters of weak cognitive skills can be targeted with personal brain training, which incorporates immediate feedback, intensity and loading, among other features, to train those weak skills.
“Over a six-year period, we had 5,416 children and adults come to LearningRx with the diagnosis of ADHD,” she says. “We measured the cognitive performance of these clients before and after brain training, and the largest gains were seen in IQ, auditory processing, long-term memory and broad attention. After LearningRx brain training, IQ scores improved by an average of 15 standard points and broad attention skills improved an average of 24 percentile points.”
