As a psychologist,educator and researcher into the area of intellectual learning, I believe every child needs brain training as part of their education in schools. Why?. In my experience schools are not equipped to help children reach their intellectual potential. As much as we may like to believe it, schools are not perfect places in which to educate a child. While they may do their utmost within budgetary constraints to impart the knowledge and skills a child needs to function in the world as an adult, they simply cannot provide the one-to-one attention that a child needs to reach their full intellectual potential. Even if a parent is fortunate enough to afford private schooling of the highest standard, or private tutoring from leading scholars, this still cannot maximize intellectual development for a surprisingly simple reason: those experts don’t know what to teach to make that...

Brain training games don’t work, they might be fun but the paying customer wants more than fun, they want to raise intelligence levels (IQ) to help them in their education,work and life. All those brain training gaming products mentioning the word “brain” and featuring Professors in the logo could not possibly make you Smarter.

Your intelligence is built on a very broad skill set involving more than stimulating your brain with a few fun games. Becoming more intelligent is not that easy! The clue is in the fact that none of the big game developers or online training companies claim to make their users more intelligent. It’s a convenient misunderstanding produced by clever advertising. It also plays on people’s inherent desire for easy solutions to difficult problems, such as how to do better in school or business.

A recent review paper in The Psychologist shows that no study has ever...

Many psychologists once believe that IQ is fixed at birth, but that is an outdated position based on ideology as much as on bad science. Mounting evidence has been coming in over the past two decades that your IQ in both kids and adults can rise as a result of increased educational exposure and if people engage in brain training exercises.

The view that IQ is fixed for life and cannot be improved has been discredited thanks to several recent studies. One such study which was recently published by Norwegian scientists Christian N. Brinch and Taryn Ann Galloway. They got around the problem of trying to separate the effect of education on IQ from the possibility that more intelligent people simply choose to have more education. Their study involved examining the effects of an increase in the duration of compulsory schooling in Norway in the 1960s. This change extended the minimum time in...

When psychologists talk about brain training, there are talking about improving the relational skills in the brain. A relational skill is a skill involved in understanding the relationship between things in the world. Understanding the relationships between a set of cousins, or understanding that a particular group of plants are all of the same kind (e.g., flowers), or understanding that a Poodle is a type of dog but a dog is not a type of poodle, are all examples of basic relational skills. But of course, they get more complicated than this.
