The Future of Paying Attention
Research backed science to help students and children beat the odds.
Students and Children Need Attention
As attention spans in children continue to decline, Thynk provides a scientifically proven solution that is proven to work. In our clinical studies, children with attention issues showed real improvements, especially in math and reading, after using THYNK as a way to improve their attention. Attention is crucial for your child’s cognitive well-being, paving the way for success in school and beyond.
Understanding the Challenges
Since attention is the cornerstone to learning, the best way to see the big picture of a child’s potential is if we look at it the way a foundation relates to a building.
When a building’s foundation is properly established, only then can the builder have assurance that the remainder can be built and ultimately deemed reliable. On the other hand, If the foundation is not established correctly, then any progress on a building will inevitably crumble. Such shortcomings usually occur due to their inability to sustain heavier weight even if progress was made early on.
Thus attention must be rightly harnessed as it is the very bedrock upon which higher order cognitive function and processes rest upon. It is therefore necessary to properly develop the fundamentals before advancing onto intermediate processes, higher order functioning, and achieving executive level reasoning.
When Attention is Removed
Remove the cornerstone from this tower of cognitive edifice, and the rest completely collapses. Without proper development of a person's attention faculties, the remainder becomes extremely frustrating: language procession, visual-spatial reasoning, social and emotional competency, and executive functions.
The repercussions are profound and precisely demonstrate how critical it is for any person to develop thinking, the fundamentals of cognition.
When the foundation is properly established, all types of learning can be gradually built through time and effort.
The Science Behind THYNK
THYNK’s approach to optimizing focus and attention is to use the Focus>Forward Model (FFM) in conjunction with the Thynk AV Headset.
We start by recognizing each person’s current strengths and weaknesses in cognitive development followed by self-improvement through gradual development in pursuit towards attainable goals.
We accomplish this in the form of fun and simple video games while observing and analyzing the player’s attention. The player plays through levels that sustain attention through fun and captivating gameplay while also building their cognitive skills.
The THYNK AV Headset
The Thynk AV headset continuously monitors a child’s attention level, measuring it every 1/10th of a second. This real-time measurement guides Skylar, the main character, through thrilling adventures. The more a child pays attention, the greater their success and rewards in the game.
Our Results from 8 Validated Studies
Studies included 337 children with attention deficiencies.
Substantial Clinical Evidence Base
Of children with attention challenges completed Skyler’s Run.
Of children with attention problems experienced meaningful reduction of signs of attention challenges of 25% or more.
Of attention-challenged children experienced clinically meaningful symptoms reduction of 40% or more.
The Results Are In
80% Exhibited
Improved Behavior
8.3 Month gain in math fluency
30-40% Improvement in test question accuracy
36% Increase in homework completion rate
6.6 Month gain in reading fluency
8 Trials conducted in 337 Children with Attention DifficultiesLong Lasting Changes in Behavior
*The sustainability of responses measured in only 4 of the studies
In clinical trials, results were noticeable in as little as 2 weeks using the game for 20 minutes per day, only 3-5 times per week.
The Solution is THYNK
THYNK’s approach is to combine fun and compelling gameplay with real-time data metrics via our AV headset. We have discovered that a person’s focus faculties can not only be renewed but even refined for long-term gain.
The results from our Skyler’s Run clinical studies show that a person’s ability to focus and hold attention can be corrected for both short-term rehabilitation and sharpened for long-term excellence.
