COGx programs are co-created with the world’s leading experts on human learning.​

The Bjork Learning & Forgetting Lab was founded in 1979 by world renowned experts on learning and memory, Drs. Robert and Elizabeth Bjork. The primary goal of the Bjork Lab is to apply cognitive psychology to enhance educational practice. Bjork's research has identified fundamental learning principles that help educators, parents, and students understand and leverage the science of learning in the classroom to improve student achievement.

Drs. Robert & Elizabeth Bjork have received many honors and awards in their distinguished careers. In 2016, they both received the James McKeen Cattell Fellow Award which is a lifetime achievement award for their contributions toward improving learning to ultimately address societal issues. Recently, they received the 2020 APS Mentor Award for their work as co-directors of the Bjork Learning and Forgetting Lab as well as their work mentoring others throughout the years. Of the more than 80 honors, graduate, and postdoctoral students and scholars the Bjork’s have co-mentored at UCLA, a staggering 70% have had successful academic careers in areas related to learning.

COGx Partner School Testimonials

COGx is the finest example I’ve encountered of cutting edge research applied to educational methodology. All educators should be required to learn effective strategies to develop the foundational cognitive skills students need to engage in the critical thinking and creative problem solving that 21st century education demands.
Sara EdwardTeacher with Masters in Education from Johns Hopkins University
As an educator, I am responsible for teaching students. Yet, in my own education and training to become a teacher I wasn’t prepared to succeed as a teacher because my own learning didn’t include any training on the science of human learning. COGx closes this gap for educators and does so effectively.
