A simple way to define cognitive skills is to describe them as the
underlying brain skills that make it possible for us to think, remember
and learn. These are the skills that allow us to process the huge influx
of information we receive each and every day at work, at school and in
life.
If your cognitive skills aren't up to speed, no matter what kind of
information you try to grasp—or how many times you try to grasp it—the
process can feel sluggish and slow.
This is why brain training and tutoring are so completely different. Tutoring re-teaches information you didn't quite grasp the first time
around. This is fine if the reason the information didn't "stick" was
because the information was presented poorly.
But 80% of all learning struggles aren't due to poorly taught
information—they are the result of one or more cognitive skills
weaknesses. If the reason you didn't grasp the information the first
time around is because of a processing weakness in your brain, you don't
need to be re-taught the information.
You need to upgrade your brain.Brain training rewires the brain so that it can function faster and
more efficiently than ever before. This makes thinking, learning, and
processing information easier than ever before.
