Alzheimer's Australia WA is an authorised provider of Posit Science's Brain Fitness Program that has been scientifically proven to improve a person's ability to think faster, focus better and remember more.
1. Brain Fitness Program Classic™ Designed to improve your listening skills and memory. - Remember what you hear – a new person’s name, telephone numbers, the description of the toy your granddaughter wants, the tasks assigned to you in a meeting; - Communicate more effectively by keeping up with conversations; and - Pick up more details in conversations, music and movies.
2. InSight™ Designed to improve your visual skills and memory. - Improve visual processing speed by an average of 300% and useful field of view by 200%; - Drive better – avoid collisions by tracking cars more effectively, cutting down on dangerous moves and stopping sooner. - React more quickly when playing tennis, walking in a crowded area and in other situations that require quick responses.
Scientifically proven Clinical trials of both programs have shown an average of 10 years improvement for individual memory function in terms of speed, accuracy and recall. In addition the Brain Fitness Classic program has been shown to improve a person's listening skills by 131% on average and the InSight program to increase useful field of view by 200% and visual processing speed by 300% on average. This has led to significant memory and lifestyle benefits for people who were starting to experience age-related memory loss.
Both programs on offer in Australia were developed and extensively trialled by US company Posit Science Corporation in conjunction with the world’s leading neuroscientist Dr Mike Merzenich and his team at the University of California. The programs have also been extensively researched over many years by renowned research institutions such as the Mayo Clinic, Yale and Stanford University.
Alzheimer's Australia WA undertook a two-year investigative process to identify a cognitive training program with evidence for individual benefit.
The review reported that older people can be reliably trained in a wide range of specific cognitive skills areas, that training is task specific and that the trained skill can be retained.
Further investigation by Alzheimer's Australia WA into the currently available cognitive training programs identified Posit Science brain fitness programs as the world’s most clinically-trialled and researched memory enhancement products.
