    What is brain training and is there any scientific evidence to support that it has positve effects on peoples lives.

    Brain training can either be seen as a game or an intellectual skills course to help raise IQ and brain fitness in adults and kids.So what is brain training and is there any scientific evidence to support that it has positve effects on peoples lives.

    To start, RaiseYourIQ is the only scientifically proven brain training course with published research to improve what we term "intellectual skills" and raise your IQ by 20 to 30 points. Intellectual skills training is really what brain training is about, so its less about training the train but more about training the intellectual skills we all have. So RaiseYourIQ is a research based, scientifically proven brain training solution with published clinical data providing brain fitness and intellectual skills development courses that have real world health and education benefits beyond games.

    RaiseYourIQ is at the forefront in research into IQ, intellectual skills development and behavioural psychology as well as in techniques for maximizing brain fitness in any individual. The scientific research field (Applied Behaviour Analysis; ABA) upon which the RaiseYourIQ methodology is based, is well-established for nearly a century and represents the gold standard approach for helping individuals improve intellectual capacity (over and above the recent slew of neurologically oriented brain training interventions). Importantly, the RaiseYourIQ approach is unique, and proven to be effective, having been developed by its own team of psychologists and educators (who founded the company) over a number of years. The methodology for the RaiseYourIQ training course is known scientifically as Relational Frame Training

    What Is Brain Training?

    Well, RaiseYourIQ believes that brain training is about teaching people to learn. So brain training is a learning method to enhance anyone's ability to learn faster, easier, and better. The science part is the brain processes information through a network of nerve cells called neurons and as we learn, groupings of neurons physically work together to accomplish learning or thinking tasks. So brain training is a skills course that requires a few hours a week over 8 to 12 weeks where a final test will indicate the level of improvement.

    Is Brain Training Just A Game?

    Is brain training an intellectual skill to learn or just a game for fun?. With the increase awareness of mental health there is allot of discussion on the web about brain training, brain health and how to improve one's IQ. Firstly the psychologists with support from clinical trials and data (experts in the field of relational frame training) at RaiseYourIQ have pinpointed that the only real meaningful brain training solutions are the ones focused on improving a person's relational skill and not just memory re-call which games focus on. This is where brain training games has its limitations as in education,business and everyday interaction, our brain needs to be able to understand much higher levels of relational skills because we all need to be able to perform more complicated understandings. A brain training game while fun cannot work on the brains relational skills we need to understand mathematics, science, language, to read and speak well. The psychology team at RaiseYourIQ having conducted over 10 years scientific research along with clinical studies into relational frame training and how it corresponds to IQ.

    Does Brain Training Work?

    This same question could be asked of any online skills course. If you take an online language course to learn Spanish, then after a period of time you should be able to better understand and speak Spanish. This can be validated by taking assessments and tests as part of the course. The same applies to a brain training course. After a defined period of time, assessments and tests should indicate to you how much your brain has become fitter across a number of relational skills. SMART Brain Training is a education course to deliver a targeted interaction that challenges the brain to facilitate learning faster and easier, meaning the benefits that go beyond performance on the brain training course itself into school,business and everyday life. Why not take a free IQ assessment and no obligation trial.
