J and I had dinner together out tonight and she brought up how much the brain training [Activate] changed her and how she can feel it working, helping her be organized. The gains have persisted. She’s more observant. She plans her schedule two weeks ahead now rather than reacting at the last moment to everything. She’s more goal oriented; she’s saving money. She’s a better listener. It’s like she matured 5-8 years’ worth since last June. I know it’s anecdotal, but she’s a pretty powerful example of what can happen when you train someone whose frontal brain is more developed than a third grader’s.

Just wanted to say this program has now some unexpected positive effects. My son Scott scored on the 96th percentile for overall working memory and the 100th percentile for part two! This was a valuable experience for him and, in addition, the assessment results have finally convinced his school that whilst Scott can be somewhat contrary, and doesn’t have the best focus for repetitive tasks, he really can rise to the occasion when appropriately challenged. Of course, Scott does need to learn to focus on repetitive tasks and overcome frustration and fear of failure, and it’s great to have the training program to help with this…

It was like they designed the exact program I’d been dreaming about. By the beginning of the 2012 school year, language proficiency has risen to 52% and math to 76%, bringing PS316 from the bottom third to the top third in school performance in New York City Public Schools.
