The Arrowsmith Difference - Throughout Our Lifetime

“The difference between those who succeed and those who don’t is not the brains they were born with, but their approach to life, the messages they receive about their potential, and the opportunities they have to learn.”

Dr. Jo Boaler
Stanford Professor, Author, Limitless Mind

Improving Cognitive Ability at all Stages of Life

Our brains are never dormant. At all stages of life, a strong and healthy brain is critical to success and happiness. At any age – a cognitive program can prepare the brain to be at its best. 

Building and sustaining strong cognitive ability is important throughout our lifetime. There is never a moment when our brains are not vital. Arrowsmith’s Cognitive Programs help people of all ages to change their brain and improve their life.

Let‘s look at some life stages and what cognitive processes and functions can be particularly important. And keep in mind, all of the cognitive functions can be enhanced at any age and stage of life.

Arrowsmith-Stages of Life
  • Enhancing Cognitive Ability in Children

    From six to 12, children’s brains are a flurry of growth. Through Arrowsmith, key elements of development can be targeted and strengthened – readying them for school achievement and an emerging self concept. Arrowsmith exercises can strengthen:

    • Speech and communication 
    • Emotional regulation 
    • Attention
    • Fine motor skills for writing
    • Academic readiness (e.g., decoding, numeric sense, visual memory)
  • Improving Learning Outcomes for Students

    A strong brain is instrumental at these stages, where students take on more responsibilities, navigate school, and ultimately prepare for adulthood. Key cognitive processes enhanced through Arrowsmith include: 

    • Judgement, Reasoning, and Critical Thinking
    • Goal setting and execution
    • Mental initiative
    • Sutained attention
  • Improving the Life of Working Adults

    Employment. Home and community responsibilities. Financial independence. Marriage. Parenthood. The adult brain is a constant balancing act. Just a few issues strengthened through targeted cognitive training are:

    • Problem-solving 
    • Decision making
    • Emotional intelligence
  • It’s Never Too Late for Cognitive Improvement

    An aging brain doesn’t have to mean a declining capacity. Keeping brains active throughout the senior years means core functions can stay strong, and cognitive reserve can be built: 

    • Memory
    • Processing speed
    • Cognitive flexibility

All Learning and Performance Begin With the Brain.

Strengthening cognitive functions allows us to remain sharp as we grow, learn, and age.
