Applying Neuroscience to
Empower Student Learning,
Achievement and Behavior
CogniMoves® is an innovative cognitive-motor movement program for the classroom. Children play CogniMoves® to strengthen Executive Function skills, the essential pre-requisites for learning and achievement.
Strengthens Executive Function
Executive Function skills are a foundational element in learning, behavior, and achievement in the classroom. Our pilots studies have shown increased executive function skills in K-3 students that use CogniMoves® in class.
Increases
Self-Regulation
Teachers use CogniMoves® to improve students’ abilities to self-regulate, ease classroom transitions & refocus. Since it is designed to be used as a class, it is a socially-cohesive experience that encourages students to support one another in their cognitive, social, and motor growth.
Improves Cognitive Flexibility
Changing patterns of movement in the CogniMoves® visual-motor code requires children’s thinking to be flexible, resulting in a better ability to problem solve as well as respond to changes in their environment and expectations.
The Experience
Students move to motor patterns in time to a musical beat as they follow along with animal characters. The videos are developmentally appropriate, increasingly cognitively demanding and include intentional pauses, changes in tempo, rhythm, and timing that engage self-regulation and Executive Function skills. The videos are simple to use and require no teacher planning.
Increased Complexity
Once students have mastered a given pattern of movements, the class moves up to a new cognitive-motor pattern which is more complex and thus more challenging. This continues to strengthen students’ Executive Function skills. At the end of each video, a breathing relaxation segment transitions students from the physical activity to a state of alert calm and ready to learn.
What the community is saying
EDUCATOR VOICES
“My students are visibly moved with joy when they do well in a level of CogniMoves® that’s been stumping them.”
STUDENT VOICES
