Problems Attention Training Can Solve

Mind-wandering in class, homework procrastination, carelessness, hyperactivity and impulsivity, irritability, reluctance to use one’s brain, poor self-control.

International Attention Assessment (DSM-IV, Parent-Rated Version)

A parent self-assessment based on the internationally used DSM-IV parent-rating scale. Rate each item Never, Occasionally, Often, or Always, across two scales:

Attention Assessment

1. Easily distracted while studying; any outside sound disturbs them and they have to go and investigate
2. Very inattentive in class; often looks around or stares blankly
3. Drags out homework, playing while working; homework is messy and untidy, often incomplete or full of mistakes
4. Does not pay attention to detail; often makes careless mistakes in homework
5. Loses things or takes especially poor care of belongings (e.g., clothes and books are often dirty and messy)
6. Has difficulty consistently following instructions to finish homework or household chores
7. Has trouble sticking with tasks; often leaves one thing unfinished and moves on to another
8. Often absent-minded when spoken to, seeming to listen without really hearing
9. Frequently loses or forgets things in daily activities

Hyperactivity–Impulsivity Assessment

1. Finds it hard to sit still when required, or squirms in the seat
2. Often fidgets in class, plays with objects, or whispers with classmates
3. Talks a lot, likes to interrupt, and blurts out answers before questions are finished
4. Very noisy; cannot play quietly
5. Has difficulty following the order and rules of group activities, e.g., pushes ahead in games and cannot wait for their turn
6. Interferes with other people’s activities
7. Likes to roughhouse with other children, easily gets into disputes with classmates, and is often unpopular with peers
8. Gets excited and impulsive easily, with some over-the-top behavior
9. Often runs about or climbs in inappropriate situations; risk-seeking and accident-prone

The Odds That Attention Problems Resolve on Their Own

According to World Health Organization research, 60% of children with attention problems worldwide show developmental improvement at ages 13–15, but 40% still carry the problem into adulthood.

• Developmental improvement (self-recovery): 60% — occurs at ages 13–15 without any intervention needed; the underlying causes still require research.
• Adult attention disorder: 25% — starting vocational education too early; usually holding lower-level jobs; low efficiency and accuracy at work; frequently criticized.
• Bad temper: 10% — high divorce rate; strained social relationships; prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease in middle and old age.
• Criminal tendency: 5% — oppositional defiance; weak social awareness; less regard for social norms.

In 1998, UNESCO listed attention as the leading factor behind learning difficulties in children worldwide, and advocated that early intervention brings marked improvement.

Results of the KingBrains Training Program

One student’s records across a training course:

• EEG training records from three sessions — 2015-10-17 (lesson 1), 2015-12-19 (lesson 6), and 2016-02-22 (lesson 12) — track the student’s brainwave spectrum and band-power readings over the course of training.
• The student’s Attention Quotient (AQ) report — a children’s attention-quality itemized assessment report — covers three assessments at intermediate level, all by the same test teacher (Li Kaili). The trial-class assessment on 2015-10-17 gave a total score of 19. The 30-session assessment on 2015-12-21 gave a total score of 52. The 60-session assessment on 2016-02-26 gave a total score of 82. Sub-items are scored in two categories. Auditory attention covers its stability, its sensitivity, and its linkage with short-term memory. Visual attention covers concentration, stability, breadth, discrimination, and tracking, its linkage with short-term memory, and the dynamic quality of attention.
