Product Description
BrainBuilder is a "neurobic", computer-based training program that is designed to assess and build auditory and visual sequential processing abilities. With as little as ten minutes of daily mental exercise powerful gains can be made in short-term memory and thinking skills. In an intensive series of adaptive, interactive exercises, BrainBuilder trains the brain to expand its ability to sequentially process auditory and visual information. Sequential processing is fundamental to all learning activities, communication, social interaction and higher order cognitive functions. The BrainBuilder Home Version allows up to five family members to use the program on a single computer. It includes all seven of the neurodevelopmental activities with individual data and progress reporting and analysis. This version of BrainBuilder is intended for families for private, personal use only. System requirements: Windows: * 486 processor or better

This item was recommended from my daughters therapist to help her improve her ability to take in and repeat visual and auditory instructions. She is nine and does it every day. Even when I don't remind her.

The benefits may be great, but the exercises are so boring that it is way too much effort to do them on a regular basis.
 WORTH THE EFFORT!!! January 23, 2007

Don't listen to the whinnier. If you are serious about improving your focus and memory skills, this helps. You must use this program for 15 minutes everyday or you will be wasting your time and money. It is worth the effort! I noticed immediate results of being able to retain more info and having more focus at work. I also purchased the music CD's produced by the same company. They are helpful as well. I use them at work, at home, and in the car. The Brain Builder Booklet mentions the CD's. If you want to stop looking stupid because you can't remember information or you're tired of getting lost while driving, this will help you.

I don't write reviews often but this product is so great I had to share my thoughts on it. I bought this product because I was going back to graduate school(mechanical engineering so please excuse my grammar) and I wanted an extra boost in brain power. I have been using this product just about everyday for weeks now and the results are very apparent. I have noticed two obvious improvements in myself.
First, I can now navigate a city with ease. I always knew my short term memory was the limiting factor in my navigation abilities. Before I'd always forget where I came from, left or right,what street Im on, etc. I always had people correct me. Now I am the one leading and its not because I am paying more attention. Without directly thinking of my orientation I just know where to orient myself(My gf would always correct me, but now Im correcting her).
The second obvious improvement is my improved speech and listening abilities. I'd always have trouble fumbling in my speech and understanding people. But now I feel I can think of what to say more quickly and clearly.
I have been doing many puzzles this past summer and the combination of that and brain builder really changed my life. I think more clearly and I can think "better" now. Hard to explain but the "fog has been lifted". Everything is easier now whether its putting something together or understanding the environment around me. Also my IQ scores appear to shoot up really high but thats up to debate.
I just want to say what a great product this is and I highly recommend it to anyone. Im sure when I start school this fall I'll see a leap in my abilities.
Jason
