Lexia Cognitive Development
Software:
Lexia’s cognitive development
software helps learning
disabled, special needs, and
mainstream students strengthen
their thinking, memory, and
problem-solving abilities,
improving performance across
subjects as varied as reading,
math, science, and social
studies.
The Lexia Cross-Trainer is an interactive software programs designed to improve cognitive development in students ages 7 to adult.
The software helps learning disabled, special needs, and mainstream students strengthen their thinking, memory, and problem-solving abilities, improving performance across subjects as varied as reading, math, science, and social studies.
Lexia Cross-Trainer benefits students who have underdeveloped visual-spatial abilities or who could benefit from enhancing these skills. The software can be effective for students who need to improve in subjects that emphasize visual and conceptual learning, such as mathematics and science.
Lexia Cross-Trainer also benefits students by providing the foundation for creating new ideas, comprehending theories, and recognizing relationships. Logical reasoning skills are crucial to basic organization, discerning patterns, and drawing inferences, all of which are necessary in conceptual learning.
Skills reinforced include:
|
Classification Conjunction Exclusion |
Inductive reasoning Deductive reasoning Patterning |
|
Visualization Spatial orientation Visual memory |
Visual tracking Mental rotations Perspective coordination |
Cognition
Cognition consists of the perceptual and intellectual tools we use to learn about and navigate our world. The field of Cognitive Development is the study of what these processes are, how they develop throughout the lifespan and how they are related to meaningful life activities such as school, work, and social relationships.
Cognitive Intervention Programs leverage the
insights and methods of the field of Cognitive
Development to improve important cognitive abilities
and academic performance such as reading, writing
and mathematics.

$299 Introducing the latest addition to the Lexia product family-- Lexia Cross-Trainer: Visual-Spatial™ Cross-Training for the mind™ 
Lexia Cross-Trainer is a cognitive
intervention software program designed to
improve visual-spatial abilities in students
age 6 to adult.The interactive software helps learning disabled, special needs, and mainstream students strengthen their thinking, memory, and problem-solving abilities. Lexia Cross-Trainer: Visual-Spatial works on:
Lexia Cross-Trainer: Visual-Spatial™ 
Lexia Cross-Trainer: Visual-Spatial works on
different kinds of "muscles": visualization,
visual memory, mental rotation, visual
tracking, spatial orientation, and
multi-perspective coordination, among other
skills.A student struggling with math or science might improve his performance by receiving extra coaching, but he could also develop the visual-spatial skills that make it easier to learn math and science. Lexia Cross-Trainer is designed with a built-in assessment tool that places students at the appropriate skill level within five different visual-spatial activities. As with a good teacher, the software is designed to branch upward when the student succeeds and provide more help when the student gets frustrated. Lexia Cross-Trainer Activities 
WaterworldWaterworld is designed to improve figure-ground perception, the understanding of negative space, visual matching, visual memory, and mental rotations. Students create a pattern on the right side of their screen that matches the pattern on the left. 
TangramsTangrams is designed to help students focus on part-to-whole relations and spatial relations. This matching exercise gradually increases in complexity, allowing students to complete puzzles from memory. 
Spatial DeliverySpatial Delivery is a three-dimensional navigation activity that focuses on spatial directionality and spatial memory. Students use a map to find their way through a maze to deliver a package. 
FlipsFlips is designed to improve students' ability to visualize objects as they appear. Students duplicate shapes after they have been rotated 90 or 180 degrees. 
CubesCubes is designed to help students visualize objects from different perspectives. Students envision what a scene or set of objects would look like if seen from a different angle.

Cross-Trainer: Logical Reasoning™
Lexia Cross-Trainer: Logical Reasoning is for students ages 7 to adult. This software program works on different abilities fundamental to comprehension and problem-solving. It provides the foundation for creating new ideas, comprehending theories, and recognizing relationships. Logical reasoning is crucial to basic organizational skills, discerning patterns, and drawing inferences, all of which are necessary in conceptual learning. Skills reinforced in the program include classification, exclusion, inductive reasoning, deductive reasoning, conjunction and patterning. Automatic branching keeps the student in a challenged state, minimizing boredom and frustration. A built-in assessment tool ensures that students work at the point of maximum benefit and interest. Lexia Cross-Trainer provides a fun and efficient way for students to develop the cognitive foundation that is necessary for success and is a cost-effective alternative to one-on-one tutoring. |
