2001 Data - Gibson Cognitive Test Battery (GCTB)

These results follow 36 hours of one-on-one cognitive skills training by LearningRx trained providers using LearningRx training systems. Changes represent the difference between pre- and post-tests taken 12 weeks apart. Results are from 113 locations across a wide spectrum of geographic and economic situations. Students ranged from early elementary to young adult, with the majority between 8 and 17 years of age. The GCTB was the standard screening and post-test tool of LearningRx. All LearningRx students are screened and evaluated with this test battery. Some of those students are evaluated using additional test systems. The scores of LearningRx students on other nationaly recognized test systems are recorded below. Results on these other test systems confirm the significant skill gains made by LearningRx trained students. Changes are reported in years. Skill tests from different batteries sometimes test different skill mixes.
