The
goal of the STOMP program is to find out whether playing games can help
children build fundamental cognitive skills, and how these improvements
are reflected in the brain. Initial studies have shown promising gains
in reasoning ability and cognitive speed after just 8 weeks of
cognitive training. Now, we're hoping to learn whether gains in these
skills lead to improvements in academic performance.
If you are a teacher, principal or after-school
program coordinator, and would like your school or program to be
involved in this study, please contact Allyson Mackey (amackey@berkeley.edu). We are
able to provide a curriculum for cognitive skill building, as well as
computerized and non-computerized games to your school.
