Brain Fitness Program Classic: Clinically Proven Results

When we say the Brain Fitness Program improves cognition, we mean it.

The Brain Fitness Program has been subjected to rigorous clinical trials of the same quality, size, and design that new drugs undergo. The largest trial of the Brain Fitness Program, the IMPACT study, was conducted at three sites, including Mayo Clinic, the University of Southern California, and Posit Science. The study enrolled 487 participants. Results across the three sites found:

Program users ended with an average increase of 131% faster processing speed. Faster auditory processing helps people to keep up with the speed of speech, which in turn improves comprehension and memory.

88% of people who completed the Brain Fitness Program reached processing speeds typical of people under age 40. No one in the study was under age 65.

On average, program users gained 10 years improvement in memory.

Program users improved in four major clinical assessments. These assessments measure memory, focus, and complex thinking. Importantly, the tasks in these assessments were not directly trained. This means that benefits from using the Brain Fitness Program generalized—or extended—beyond trained tasks. No other company has shown generalization for their cognitive training programs.

More than 3 out of 4 people reported benefits in their everyday lives. These benefits ranged from remembering a shopping list without writing it down; to hearing conversations in noisy restaurants more clearly; to feeling more independent, more self-confident, and better about themselves overall.

These results were consistent regardless of gender, education level, age, hearing aid, and tinnitus.
