I never set out to become a cognitive trainer.
I’m a psychologist, and my plan had been to become a clinical psychologist. Cognitive training was never part of it. However, I am also the mother of two bright boys. Each showed real challenges growing up. From then on my mission was simple: find the best way to help them reach their full potential. That is where this actually started.
But working with my own sons taught me something I have since seen in nearly every client: the barrier is rarely effort. It is usually a specific set of cognitive skills that nobody has thought to measure. Until you identify which ones are weak and train them directly, working harder mostly produces more frustration.
That search led me to the BrainRx method, a science-backed blueprint for doing exactly that: pinpointing the skills holding someone back, then strengthening them one by one. Since then, I was able to help my sons and a dozen of other families and adults here in Vienna. If you or your child are struggling, get in touch. I would be happy to offer a free consultation, and we can find out together if the program fits your needs.
BrainRx- a cognitive training built on decades of research
Developed in the USA by Dr. Ken Gibson in 1985 and grounded in the Cattell–Horn–Carroll theory of intelligence, the most widely accepted model of how thinking actually works.
The Gibson Test maps seven core cognitive skills and shows precisely where the bottleneck is, usually not where people expect.
One-to-one sessions, several times a week, with exercises calibrated to sit just above the current skill level. A real mental workout.
Progress is measured, not assumed. You see the change in the same numbers we started with.
The seven core cognitive areas
Weakness in even one of these makes learning feel and every day performing disproportionately hard. Each is trainable.
Attention
Holding focus on one task, and resisting distraction.
Processing speed
How quickly the brain takes in and makes sense of new information.
Long term memory
Storing information reliably and retrieving it later.
Logic and reasoning
Working out what to do when the answer isn’t given, analyzing, infering, and solving new problems.
Auditory information processing
Analyzing, blending and segmenting sounds.
Visual information processing
Taking in images, diagrams and spatial relationships, and forming mental pictures from what you need.
Working memory
Holding information in mind while following multi-step instructions, mental arithmetic.
The seven principles behind programs
Individual plans
We assess first, then target the exact skills that learner needs.
One-to-one coaching
One trainer, one learner. Direct feedback during each session.
Right intensity
Real mental workout, designed to be challenging, yet never overhelming.
Repetition and practice
Several sessions a week, sustained over months. That’s how the skills stick.
Step by step
Core skills first, then complexity layered on top.
Multitasking
Combining skills to help the brain to build connections.
Positive reinforcement
Immediate encouragement keeps learners energised and confident.
Results that are measured, published and peer-reviewed
Since 2014 the Gibson Institute of Cognitive Research has published outcome data in peer-reviewed journals across education, psychology and neuroscience.
