Optimize Learning Through Science

COGx translates research from cognitive science into evidence-based programs that improve student learning outcomes.

We empower students to succeed in school, which enhances engagement, improves emotional wellbeing, and reduces absenteeism.

Optimize Teaching

The current approach to teaching is disconnected from how students learn (Hynes, 2014). A global crisis is emerging of learners of all ages being unprepared for future employment and prosperity, increasing achievement and opportunity gaps (UNESCO, 2023) with “uneducated, uninspired, and unskilled” learners (UNICEF, 2022). COGx optimizes teaching so it is aligned with how students learn -based on evidence from cognitive science

Universities

Professors are experts in their fields, but they often lack training in effective teaching, limiting students' ability to benefit from their expertise. Meanwhile, 50% of high school graduates need remedial courses. COGx helps universities adopt best teaching practices and supports students in becoming self-directed learners.

Optimize Learning

Learning is a scientific process, and for students to learn optimally they must be taught (Bjork et al., 2013: Dunlosky 2021). Students often use ineffective techniques such as highlighting and re-reading, with limited success. Such strategies are rooted in the misconception about learning (Bjork & Bjork, 2011). COGx empowers students to become protagonists of their education by mastering the science of learning.

Professionals

By 2030, there will be a global human talent shortage of over 85 million people, causing an $8.5 trillion loss to global GDP (Korn Ferry, 2023). COGx helps organizations improve training programs to adhere to the science of learning.

Upending the Status Quo

Traditional schooling often frustrates both educators and students, contributing to educator attrition and student disengagement, academic struggles, and absenteeism. Misconceptions about teaching and learning have fueled this crisis across schools, higher education, and the workplace (Evans, 2023; Chronicle of Higher Ed, 2022; Society for HR Management, 2023). COGx empowers educators to prepare students for a rapidly changing world by aligning teaching with proven principles of human learning, helping both educators and students thrive.

Our mission is to democratize the science of learning, so teaching is aligned to developing the learners' skills and learning becomes the goal of all teaching

The Case for the Science of Learning in Schools

"...not only can we put cognitive science discoveries into practice, but I believe we're ethically obligated to do so; the benefits of cognitively friendly instruction are so profound that inaction at this point would be tantamount to malpractice. We have knowledge that can save students from the educational winnower and help them realize a lifelong love of learning. It's time to put that knowledge to work."

"In the past few decades, knowledge of human learning and development has proliferated rapidly.”

"The current approach to teaching is often disconnected from how students learn and causes too many students to drop-out, struggle, and/or work too hard to do well. This in turn, inhibits interest and careers in STEM, which are often perceived to be “too hard” by students or “for smart kids”
