Learning Games

Learning games are designed to help kids make learning easier for math,science and languages. Now teachers and schools are starting to use brain training as a fun yet educational learning game to improve students IQ.



To support the impact brain training can have as a learning tool and how it can increase intelligence, a published research paper (Cassidy,Roche & Hayes, 2011) described how a range of different children
(four normally developing and eight educationally challenged) were provided with SMART brain training as a learning game on a computer in once to twice weekly sessions lasting approximately 90 minutes across several months. IQ tests (WISC III) were administered before the relational training and several weeks following the completion of training.

The results showed the average IQ was raised to over 130,which is called high functioning or exceptional. This means that these children’s intellectual ability was moved from average range to within the top 2% of the population simply by using brain training as a learning game. Any parent,teacher or psychologist is welcome to contact RaiseYourUQ for a full copy of this report.

RaiseYourIQ a psychologists run company, continues to publish research into brain training within the school and education system.

Brain Training using SMART (Relational Frame Theory) - YouTube

Dr. Bryan Roche of the National University of Ireland, Maynooth,explains what SMART brain training is and why psychologists believe that the new form of brain training called Relational Training, is the future of brain training.

What are Brain Games?

Brain games or brain training games is an education method using gamification to improve IQ or  intelligence in kids or adults. While the brain training is delivered in a game format, the underlying science uses research based data that transforms psychology developed learning tools into games that trains the brain to learn better,faster and absorb information quicker. At RaiseYourIQ we see brain games as more educational than entertainment.
The SMART brain training games are based on clear evidence that living in an enriched environment with lots of mental stimulation produces positive brain changes. So brain training games are a series of questions,puzzles and exercises to work the brain over a period of time with the end result of improving intelligence.

How does Brain Training work

Brain training works to enhance intelligence (IQ) along with other cognitive abilities. What separates SMART brain training is our scientific research into the very specific tasks that stimulate the brain in such a way that it leads to improvements in general brain health and intellectual functioning. Research in the field of Relational Frame Theory (Hayes, Barnes-Holmes & Roche, 2001) has shown that understanding relations, such as more than, less than, opposite, same, before, after, here-there, amongst others, is crucial for intellectual development in just about every sphere.



In fact, they are so crucial that researchers have reported in published scientific research papers that we can measure intelligence simply in terms of one’s ability to understand these relations (or what we call “relational ability”). RaiseYourIQ brain training is a skills focused course as it teaches a range of crucial relational skills and brings our relational skills to expert levels, so that all intellectual tasks come easier. SMART brain training gives people the ability to learn faster and better, it helps new information make more sense, and helps the brain think more clearly.
