Mind360 Goes Back to School with brain training games for kids

(PRLEAP.COM) New York, August 25, 2009; Brain training for children is a hot topic for scientist and psychiatrists alike. Research is today beginning to show increasingly evident improvements in cognitive function and social skills in children with ADD and ADHD. MIND360’s brain exercise program for children features scientifically developed online brain games that not only enhance children’s attention, memory, thinking and reasoning, and visual perception, but does so in an innovatively fun method, ensuring they want to play and train more.

Brain training research for children is still in its early days infancy though our understanding is improving with each study released. Currently scientists are talking about brain training games as a positive affecter not only on adults, but children as well.

"With children heading back to school in the coming weeks, Mind360 has adapted its proven approach to work with parents and children alike to improve greater concentration levels and thereby school grades. In this vein the recently released brain game ‘Climb it Right’ is a truly effective tool for training and enhancing children’s abilities to make faster and better decisions" says Danny Aboody, CEO of Mind360

Decision-making is a vital function for children to develop to progress to efficient learning and an effective transition to adult hood. The faster children are able render correct decisions, the more productive and confident they’re learning will become. As with all cognitive skills, enhancing decision making through scientific brain training games has been found to be the easiest, most effective and enjoyable way to optimize our capabilities.

What’s long been known is that through proper training, youngsters can better develop their cognitive skills, and at a faster rate than grown ups. Until now, most research has focused on children with ADD or ADHD, especially in areas of concentration, memory, response control, and information processing speed.

While children diagnosed with disorders have demonstrated improvements in their abilities, a number of brain training games are also on the market to help children without disorders also further develop their cognitive skills, such as attention, memory, thinking and reasoning, visual perception, and even executive functions.

The secret to successful training is not only in the science behind these games, but the degree to which they engage the child. In other words, the greater the fun factor, the more the child will be motivated to train. Studies also indicate that when a parent "plays" along with them, the child progresses significantly more.

As neuroscientists continue to discover the effects brain fitness games are having on children, common sense suggests that brain training can only help. The benefits are certainly worthy of every parent’s attention and include; greater concentration levels, improved problem-solving abilities, better school grades, faster thinking & reasoning, enhanced eye-hand coordination, more confidence & motivation, improved social behavior.

"Parents should check out the new brain training game ‘Climb it Right’ and see for themselves how it could improve their children’s motivation to learn and thereby assist in them settling back to school with an effective learning routine as quickly as possible." Said Danny Aboody
