What is Processing speed?

Processing speed is a measure of cognitive efficiency in simple, automatic cognitive tasks. Apart from simple reaction time, processing speed also tends to incorporate ability to sustain attention, perception and motivation. Processing speed manifests itself in day to day activities and influences a wide range of activities including reading, writing, performing mathematical calculations, visual search and making decisions.

Why train processing speed?

Processing speed is important for a variety of day to day cognitive activities. It has also been specifically linked with reading development and reading performance. Research has shown that significant improvements in processing speed can be achieved through training. One widely used method for training is based on computer games. Our processing speed games are designed primarily to train processing speed on tasks that are relevant to the day to day lives of students.
