Cognitive Testing for Kids & Adults

Get Answers to How Your Brain Works!

Our cognitive assessment will show you which skills are already thriving and which skills have room for improvement. This can answer why you or your child performs so well on certain activities, yet struggles with other types of tasks or assignments. We can then target and strengthen these skills through an individualized brain training plan.

By training the brain skills identified in the skills assessment, we can help you or your child learn more easily, think more quickly, and unlock hidden potential!

How the Assessment Works

Before getting started with brain training, we invite you to schedule a skills assessment at your local LearningRx Brain Training Center. Cognitive testing is led by an assessor and takes approximately one hour to complete.

During the skills assessment, you or your child will complete a series of activities which measure cognitive skills. Each activity is designed to test a specific skill or set of skills. This way, we can measure the brain’s core learning and thinking skills independent of one another. This also helps us identify the root cause of any learning or thinking struggles that you or your child may be experiencing before you start brain training.

Our cognitive testing allows us to map each learner’s unique cognitive profile. It also allows us to identify which cognitive skills have the most room for improvement and can be targeted through brain training. Based on this information, we create an individualized training plan for you or your child.

After brain training, we will conduct a second cognitive assessment. By comparing results, we can see the areas where brain training has improved cognitive skills, and how significant these gains are!

What the Assessment Measures

Our skills assessment measures seven individual cognitive skills, as well as overall cognitive performance.

Attention — How well the brain concentrates on activities and tasks.
Processing Speed — How quickly the brain processes new information.
Working Memory — How well the brain retains short-term information.
Long-Term Memory — How easily the brain retains important long-term information.
Auditory Processing — How well the brain processes, analyzes, and imagines sounds.
Visual Processing — How well the brain processes, analyzes, and imagines images.
Logic & Reasoning — How well the brain reasons, forms ideas, and solves problems.

Together, these skills allow our brains to acquire new information, accomplish basic tasks, solve complex problems, and process the world around us. By measuring these skills, we can form a complete cognitive profile of you or your child.

How to Understand the Results

After the skills assessment, we will schedule a one-on-one consultation to walk you through the cognitive test results for you or your child. Below is a quick explanation of how to interpret our cognitive testing scores:

Age-Equivalent Scores

These scores measure how well you or your child performed compared to average scores for different age groups. For example, a score of 12.1 years would represent a skill that’s performing at approximately a 7th grade level. Note that we do only include age-equivalent scores for learners under the age of 18.

Standard Scores

These scores indicate how far above or below average a learner performs compared to a common scale. For example, the common scale for IQ is 100 points. A learner with an IQ score of 87 would have a score 13 points below average. A learner with an IQ score of 121 would have a score 21 points above average.

Percentile Scores

These scores measure how you or your child performed compared to other learners in the same age group. A percentile score tells you what percentage of the general population the test-taker out-performed. For example, a 5th grade student in the 84th percentile would have a higher score than 84% of all other 5th grade students.

Cognitive Skills and Brain Training

Cognitive training, also known as brain training, is a method by which cognitive weaknesses can be strengthened. Brain training, when done one-on-one with a trainer, uses intense mental exercise to target and strengthen skills that aren’t performing as well as desired.

In the chart on the right, you can see the improvements that brain training made in the cognitive performance of 27,790 children and adults. * The scores are represented in percentiles, which show where someone ranks compared to 100 of their peers.

(While individual results may vary, we’d love the opportunity to work with you or your child!)

If you or someone you love is struggling with learning, reading, attention, or memory, you can at least find out why. The first step is to take a Cognitive Skills Assessment to identify weak cognitive skills. If weak cognitive skills are at the root of struggles with learning or life, brain training may offer the solution you’re looking for.
