RaiseYourIQ Launches FREE Brain Training Software to Schools

CHICAGO - Nov. 6, 2014 - PRLog -- RaiseYourIQ has announced is it offering its SMART brain training software for free to schools and teachers. Any school can now sign up and get free licenses to what RaiseYourIQ calls “Intervention based Intellectual skills training”.

Following 2 years working with teachers and schools, RaiseYourIQ published studies show that students, who complete the SMART brain training course which is based on research into “Relational Skills”, will significantly raise their IQ (10-20 on average) plus also improve on cognitive, problem solving, reading, literacy and language skills.

RaiseYourIQ co-founder and one of the leading researchers into “Relational Frame Theory” Doctor Bryan Roche states that relational skills training has been shown in published research to impact intellectual ability scores (measured using the WISC) and in independent research into relational skills have shown that our ability to understand abstract relations corresponds to scores on standard IQ tests (e.g., the WAIS and Kaufman’s brief intelligence test). One published research paper (Cassidy, Roche & Hayes, 2011 (http://www.psychologytoday.com/files/attachments/154643/t...)) described how a range of different children (four normally developing and eight educationally challenged) were provided with a fully automated relational skills training method on a computer in once to twice weekly sessions lasting approximately 90 minutes across several months. IQ tests (WISC III) were administered before the relational training and several weeks following the completion of training.

At the outset of the study, the four normal children had an average IQ of 105 (ranging from 96-119). This is typical of normally developing children.  Nevertheless, this average IQ was raised to over 130, which is called high functioning or exceptional.  Children in this intellectual range are often referred to as gifted. The lowest IQ among the normally developing students following the intervention was 128 and the highest was 137. This means that these children’s intellectual ability was moved from average range to within the top 2 percent of the population concludes Doctor Roche.

The affordable and easy access to educational interventions to hone the foundational educational skills of any child has the potential to democratize education states RaiseYourIQ Director of Learning, Doctor Sarah Cassidy.  This is why we want to offer any and every school free access to our SMART Brain Training. It can be quite impractical for a school to try to bring up to speed a child who is years behind in educational attainment due to a lack of investment in that child in their earlier years, by parents or otherwise.  The identification of relational skills as the basic building blocks of intelligence, however, offers the possibility of remediating these deficits in a very efficient way so that educational efforts will be more effective and so that any child whether gifted, disadvantaged or with normal IQ can reach their educational potential in an expedited fashion.
