Questions on how brain training works from RaiseYourIQ

Questions on how brain training works from RaiseYourIQ:

 Brain training questions on how to improve IQ, intelligence and memory along with free advice from our team of educational psychologists on cognitive training.

The brain training methods in both SMART Kids and SMART Adult are the same. However the SMART brain training
course for children has backgrounds and animated characters that make
it a lot more fun learning experience for children and big kids.
Regardless of whether you want to raise your IQ for school,business or
personal development, the SMART brain training course should take
between 3 and 6 months to complete.



Brain Training : What Is A Relational Skill?



A relational skill
is a skill involved in understanding the relationship between things in
the world. Understanding the relationships between a set of cousins, or
understanding that a particular group of plants are all of the same
kind (e.g., flowers), or understanding that a Poodle is a type of dog
but a dog is not a type of poodle, are all examples of basic relational
skills. But of course, they get more complicated than this. The
relational skills you need to understand high level mathematics or to
read and speak well, are more advanced skills. SMART brain training
teaches a range of basic but crucial relational skills and brings your
relational skills to expert levels, so that all intellectual tasks come
easier. SMART brain training makes you a faster and better learner.
SMART helps new information make more sense, and helps you think more
clearly. Read about our SCIENCE



What Does Brain Training Involve?



The SMART brain training
course from RaiseYourIQ is divided into levels with blocks of
questions. The course involves teaching the user how to answer blocks of
logical questions, first with feedback – and then on their own without
any help. There is 30 seconds to answer each question. During training
blocks we tell you whether or not your answer is correct. During test
blocks you need to answer all of the questions on your own. Once you
pass a test, you move on to the next level. You progress like this
through the levels, collecting points as you go. You even get bonus
points for revising stages you have passed before, because the more you
revise the smarter your brain will get. The course should take between
three to six months to complete.



Brain and Cognitive Skills

Brain and cognitive
skills exercises are at the core of the SMART brain training system.
Based on over 10 years clinical research in universities and schools,
SMART brain training consists of over 70 modules made up of several
brain exercises with increasing difficulty levels that target all
cognitive skills including verbal comprehension, reasoning, processing
speed plus working and long term memory. Brain and cognitive abilities
are the brain-based skills we all need to effectively carry out any task
from the easiest to the most difficult. Brain training works by
improving skill specific changes in the brain which then carry into
bigger changes across many different types of skills training and
learning ability.IQ tests and results demonstrate that as the brain
becomes smarter at a skill, the brain no longer needs to work as hard at
it. The brain now shifts to more automatic processing as that skill is
learned.

The SMART brain training games from RaiseYourIQ

The SMART brain training program is a revolutionary cognitive enhancement system
developed by the scientific researchers at RaiseYourIQ. 

SMART is a scientifically developed educational brain training that has been
proven in published scientific research to raise intelligence levels (IQ) (as measured
using standardized IQ tests) by 20 - 30 IQ points. That makes SMART brain training a
breakthrough in psychological science.

The founders of RaiseYourIQ, Dr Sarah Cassidy and Dr. Bryan Roche are established
University-based researchers in the behavioral and cognitive sciences and have had their
scientific work on learning and cognition published across a wide range of reputable
scientific journals.

SMART brain training helps kids and adults to become expert in a range of critical
cognitive skills, called Relational Skills. These skills underlie just about everything
we do in school, business, at work and in normal day-to-day decision making and
problem-solving. 

SMART the only system of brain training, that has been proven to enhance general
intelligence and its components, as well as reading ability, numerical ability and
educational aptitude. The SMART brain training program is adaptable to people of all
ages, from kids to adults, helping them to make learning easier, improve memory recall
and exercise their brains to raise IQ.

Personal brain training games

Personal brain training games: RaiseYourIQ SMART brain training is our flagship product for both personal and professional users. It is scientifically based on established principles of learning that have been proven to underlie intellectual development across a wide range of areas (reading, problem solving, reasoning, and so on).

The Academic Research Team behind RaiseYourIQ has helped to develop a widely used theory of cognitive development known as Relational Frame Theory and have harnessed the vast evidence base for this theory to deliver the most powerful brain training tool ever produced.

SMART is the only brain training tool in the world to be supported by published scientific research from several independent laboratories. No other tool has been proven in the scientific literature to significantly enhance general intelligence or educational aptitude. 

The founders of RaiseYourIQ (Doctor Bryan Roche and Doctor Sarah Cassidy) have played a key role identifying how “relational skills training” impacts a person’s intellectual ability. We then devised the SMART brain training course to teach people these crucial learning skills. RaiseYourIQ have also published two experiments which show that IQ can be increased by a large amount using our method – something no other brain training company has done.

The science behind brain training

The science behind brain training: The science and scientific evidence supporting brain training from RaiseYourIQ

The Science behind SMART Intellectual Skills Training

Dr. Bryan Roche and Dr. Sarah Cassidy have worked as scientists for many years in the
development of the SMART brain training method. The RaiseYourIQ approach to brain health is based on Relational Frame Theory – a modern theory of cognition that our team has helped to develop over the past two decades. Dr. Roche was the co-editor of the two seminal texts on this theory. Dr. Cassidy was the leading researcher behind the first demonstration of IQ gains resulting from relational skills training.

RaiseYourIQ offers the only brain training system in the world that is based on tried and tested
systems of intellectual skills interventions used in the clinical setting (for example the methods of
Applied Behaviour Analysis), and that has been shown in published scientific research to lead to real,
large, and objectively measurable gains in general intelligence (IQ). No other method benefits from
even a single study, showing large and reliable IQ gains as a result of training.

Our SMART system has achieved the holy grail of brain training across several different published
studies. That is, we have achieved what scientists call evidence of “far transfer”. This means that
increased scores on an IQ test have been proven to result from training on skills that are not
directly assessed on the IQ test. In other words, the benefits of our SMART training have been proven
to transfer far into intellectual areas that we do not train directly in our system but which are
assessed in general intelligence tests (e.g., vocabulary, verbal comprehension, analogical reasoning,
numeracy, and so on). This makes SMART training truly unique and revolutionary in its approach to
intellectual skills enhancement.

Some of the other tools that we have made available here to schools or clinics (SMART for Dyslexia,
KidStarter, FAST emotional flexibility training) are also based on Relational Frame Theory concepts,
or on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) methods, which are heavily conceptualised in terms of
Relational Frame Theory.

brain training does work

brain training does work:

Brain training does work despite the volume of uneducated articles
you may read on so called lifestyle websites. Brain training is a
science, not some developers creating some nice games with graphics.
While some of fun, they have zero scientific evidence or research they
work or are even beneficial.


So, here are RaiseYourIQ, we will continue our mission to provide
published, scientific proof that brain train based on the science of
Relational Frame Theory does work to increase a child’s or adults IQ. In
fact, RaiseYourIQ is the ONLY brain training which has been created
following years of scientific studies by the co-founders of the company,
Dr. Bryan Roche and Dr. Sarah Cassidy. If anyone would like to know
more about how brain training can better equip the ability to learn,
then either Dr. Roche or Dr. Cassidy will be delighted to answer any
questions you may have. Please feel free to reach out to us directly via
this site or any of our social media channels.

Brain Training Evidence

One such scientific paper that the co-founders of RaiseYourIQ
produced along with other academic colleagues, published in the journal
“Learning and Individual Differences” ,Brain Training Science
shows that significant increases in overall intelligence, of 28 points
on average, can be produced by undertaking online relational skills
training or brain training as it’s commonly known. In fact, the research
showed that significant improvements in overall educational aptitude
can be achieved by the user in a few months of practising these
relational skills.


We continue in our mission to provide scientific evidence that a
Relational Frame Theory (RFT) approach to a person’s intellectual
development holds the key to a functional approach to brain training.
Our research into RFT has identified a series of basic building blocks
of intellectual development, which center around the ability of someone
to understand complex inter-relations among stimuli.

Brain Training in Action

A good example of these building blocks is that if we understand that
if something is opposite to two other things, then those two things
must be the same as each other. This calculation involves a relation
skill. Another example to this is if one object is worth more than
another, the second one is worth less than the first. The belief that
these types of skills do not just underlie intelligence, but actualy
constitute it, is core to RFT. We call this a modern behavioral
approach, however it sits well with more mainstream cognitive assessment
approaches.

Brain Training Research

The reality is that most people and children are relatively
proficient in basic relational skills. However, many people are quite
deficient in solving the more complex relational problems. To address
this deficiency, we created our online brain training system and called
it SMART training (Strengthening Mental Abilities with Relational
Training). This system was developed by Relational Frame Theory
researchers (psychologists to you and me) at Maynooth University in
Ireland. Another piece of study by Dr. Cassidy et al. was the second
such study to be published by the Maynooth University team to show that
SMART training can increase general intelligence as measured by
standardized IQ tests, such as the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for
Children (WISC). In fact, this second study provided new additional
evidence that scholastic ability, as measured by a gold standard
aptitude test known as the Differential Aptitude Test (DATs), also
increases as a result of SMART brain training or “intellectual skills
training” to give its proper medical name.


We documented in previous research that a person’s IQ increase cannot
be easily accounted for by practice at the IQ test, because the IQ test
was administered only twice, with several month intervals between
administrations. Furthermore, IQ rises due to practice are usually very
small compared to the rises reported in this latest study. Further
still, the training administered to the sample of 11-12-year-old
children employed in Experiment 1 of this study, was dissimilar to an IQ
test. The same applies to the DATs aptitude test. This was administered
only twice, and the increases in scores observed for numerical and
verbal reasoning far outstripped the increases expected by practice at
the test itself.


It is important to note that the online relational skills training
did not in any way teach the items on the DATs test. This was the second
SMART study to achieve what critics of “brain training” treat as the
benchmark for acceptable brain training; the transfer of skills from the
training to other tasks. In this regard the Cassidy study provides more
evidence that brain training can work to enhance essential intellectual
skills, at least if it focuses on relational skills, or what RFT
researchers call Arbitrarily Applicable Relational Responding.

Brain Training Evidence

One of the more common criticisms of brain training programs is that
while it can improve the cognitive skills needed to complete the
training, any benefits will have no practical relevance to a person’s
daily life. In one study, however, a sample of thirty 14 to 15-year-old
kids were tracked across several months of online training. This was
completed 2-3 times a week for approx. 30-45 minutes. The evidence
proved that practice at relational skills, increased their numerical and
verbal reasoning abilities, as measured by the DATs (administered and
scored by independent third parties) by a significant degree.


These numerical indices were then used by educators to assess a
child’s overall “educational aptitude”, which is the child’s ability to
perform well in school across the board. By finding a significant
increase in learning ability, the current study suggests that SMART
brain training can make a real and measurable difference to the
education of a child. While more evidence is always required when such
promising results are reported by any new Brain training
method, the case is mounting that a relational frame theory approach to
intellectual development may indeed have identified some basic building
blocks of intelligence, once thought to be an unchangeable trait.


We are not suggesting that brain training games
is the answer to improving everyone’s learning ability or to raise
their IQ, however our scientific research goes a long way to proving
that brain training does work.

The research carried out by RaiseYourIQ founders has been published in scientific journals from across several different published studies. That is, we have achieved what scientists and psychologists term evidence of “far transfer”. This means that increased scores on an IQ test have been proven to result from brain training on skills that are not directly assessed on the IQ test. In other words, the benefits of our SMART brain training have been proven to transfer far into intellectual areas that we do not train directly in our system but which are assessed in general intelligence tests (e.g., vocabulary, verbal comprehension, analogical reasoning, numeracy, and so on). This makes
SMART training truly unique and revolutionary in its approach to intellectual skills enhancement.


Some of the other tools that we have made available here to schools or clinics (SMART for Dyslexia, KidStarter, FAST emotional flexibility training) are also based on Relational Frame Theory concepts, or on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) methods, which are heavily conceptualized in terms of Relational Frame Theory.

Now we have not only updated our website but added a whole range of new features and brain training exercises. Our mission is to deliver the highest quality learning and cognitive improvement solutions to kids and adults via the world wide web, so anyone with a learning difficulty,
seeking to improve IQ and boost their brain functions can benefit educationally from behavior-analytic teaching methods usually only delivered in a clinical setting. The brain training games that
RaiseYourIQ deliver online will help every individual to reach their full intellectual potential and attain the life goals they have set for themselves.
