Lessons Learned From Training 101,000 Brains | Dr. Amy Lawson Moore | TEDxWestMonroe

We aren’t stuck with the cognitive cards we’ve been dealt! Cognitive psychologist Dr. Amy Lawson Moore shares lessons she and her colleagues have learned about brain training from their clinical research and experience working with more than 101,000 brains. In this talk, Dr. Moore illustrates how brain training should match the complexity of cognition, the importance of achieving real-life benefits, and the universal applicability of brain training for all ages. Weaving her peer-reviewed research results with stories of hope, she shares how cognitive training is so much more than ‘brain games’! Dr. Amy Moore is a cognitive psychologist at LearningRx in Colorado Springs, CO at the headquarters of a worldwide network of brain training centers where she specializes in cognitive training and cognition assessment for neurodevelopmental disorders, learning disabilities, traumatic brain injury, and age-related cognitive decline.
Dr. Moore also serves as VP of Research at Gibson Institute of Cognitive Research, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of people struggling with brain disorders and injuries. Her brain training research has been published in peer-reviewed medical and psychology journals and presented at conferences around the United States. She is a former child development specialist, education administrator, with a PhD in psychology and a master’s degree in early childhood education. She’s a board-certified Christian counselor, Editor-in-Chief of Modern Brain Journal, co-host of the podcast Brainy Moms, a married mom of 3 boys, and an ADHD warrior. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

As I was doing my research on this company for my eight year old I saw another video asking to spell the first presidents last name backwards because I saw it here for the second time within 30 minutes I was able to do it quicker so I understand that it really does take that consistency I am excited to see my daughter feel just as successful

What is “intensive” brain training?

[@mikesomersdrummer8042]

Just like we go to science, math, and social studies class, we can go to attention, memory, and sensory processing class.
We have gyms for our bodies, now we have gyms for our brains 🌅
