Gibson Test of brain skills
The ability to learn is significantly dependent upon a person’s ability to process information, which is defined as a person’s cognitive skills. One or more weak cognitive skills generally cause learning difficulty. Thereby, if a student is under performing, it is critical to learn whether weak cognitive skills are an issue, and if so, which ones. Until weak cognitive skills are improved, most academic-based remediation efforts are ineffective and the student becomes frustrated. The Gibson Test of brain skills serves as a red light/green light indicator. Red light means you need to address weak cognitive skills to empower the student to learn. Green light means the student has the foundational cognitive capacity to learn and other limiting factors can be addressed.
Prior to now, professional cognitive skill testing was resource intensive and expensive. This type of testing has historically been used to diagnose learning disabilities and thereby has a negative connotation. IQ tests usually only provide an average score and do not break out detailed individual cognitive skill scores. Because of these barriers, there has been only limited and often inadequate testing and identification of cognitive weakness.
The Power to Know
BrainSkills has developed an affordable, professional and comprehensive online cognitive skills assessment. Now an educator or parent can know whether weak cognitive skills are the direct cause of learning challenges. Even good students may have weak skills but are compensating and working harder to maintain grades. Every student can benefit from knowing their cognitive skill profile.
