Scientific Foundation- The Gibson Institute of Cognitive Research
Established in 2014, the Gibson Institute is dedicated to advancing the science of cognitive development. Through ongoing empirical research, the Institute investigates the impact of cognitive training programs and assessments.
- Findings are published in peer-reviewed journals.
- Presented at leading education, psychology, and neuroscience conferences.
- Focused on real-world cognitive gains that impact learning and life.
Research-Backed Results
From randomized controlled trials to pilot studies, the data tells a powerful story.
- Measurable improvements in cognitive skills
- Documented transfer effects to real-life learning and performance
- Results compiled in: “Research Results and Learning Outcomes – Fifth Edition”
Whether it's attention, memory, processing speed, or reasoning skills—our programs create lasting, scientifically-supported change.
