Brain Training Study - Students Get Better Scores

Anyone who has tried out the software Brain Training must have thought at some time, besides the fun aspect, could this really help improve how we learn. Well Learning and Training Scotland have conducted the first real study of how Brain Training impacts a students test scores. They asked 600 students in 32 schools to use BT 20 minutes each day for 9 weeks. Compared to a control group the BT group got 50 percent better scores in a standard written test. Not bad. How can we harness the power of this solution to train our employees? What is more stimulating -doing an online one hour elearning module or playing an interactive fun and challenging brain game for 20 minutes? Food for thought.
